Anita sent (on July 23) follow-up to NIC personnel and Aimee Neely (ICESat-2 mission applications lead) thanking them for their participation and asking them for clarification on requirements.

Will reping week of August 5 if no response.

Action: collaborate and contact the NSIDC DAAC and then NIC (thank them for attending previous call, see if they can support shapefiles for the NIC, any other changes they are able to support, what are they working on, what’s in the current pipeline, interest in engaging with this user group, how to fund them, process for incorporating changes, any potential for hosting a workshop for NIC, any links in thank-you follow-up email to consolidate)

- [ ] Katrina: This 2018 solution has only been tied to a couple of needs (NIC and Eric Lulluet and Joe Sankowitz). We were not involved in the assessment for these. Katrina will see if any needs from later cycles were tagged to this ICESat-2 quicklook solution
Found other names we could contact: Action: Reach out to the following individualsto see if they are currently using or have an interest in using: Marilyn Murphy ([Marilyn.Yuen.Murphy@noaa.gov](mailto:Marilyn.Yuen.Murphy@noaa.gov)), Sean Helfrich ([Sean.Helfrich@noaa.gov](mailto:Sean.Helfrich@noaa.gov)), Davida Streett ([Davida.Streett@noaa.gov](mailto:Davida.Streett@noaa.gov)), Eric Leuliette ([Eric.Leuliette@noaa.gov](mailto:Eric.Leuliette@noaa.gov)), Joe Sienkiewicz ([Joseph.Sienkiewicz@noaa.gov](mailto:Joseph.Sienkiewicz@noaa.gov)), Eric Bayler ([Eric.Bayler@noaa.gov](mailto:Eric.Bayler@noaa.gov)), Jeff Key ([Jeff.Key@noaa.gov](mailto:Jeff.Key@noaa.gov)).  They submitted surveys for which the ICESat-2 solution was recommended.
