[unav_all] Polar Networks Science Committee

[Leigh Stearns]

Dear UNAVCO-ers,

I just wanted to introduce myself as the new chair of the PNSC (Polar 
Networks Science Committee) - a joint UNAVCO/IRIS committee. Our charter 
is appended below. As we get ready for our annual meeting (June 22), I 
wanted to reach out to the community so 1) you know we exist and 2) to 
solicit feedback or discussion items. If you have a polar-related topic 
or concern that you'd like us to address, please let me or one of your 
other PNSC committee members know.

Our meeting minutes will be posted here 
<https://www.unavco.org/community/governance/committees/polar/polar.html> 
shortly after we convene.

thanks,

Leigh
