[HubbardBrookCOS] July COS Meeting - Discussion of Data Access Policy

[Mary Martin]

Hubbard Brook COS,

Over the past decade, requirements for data sharing by our funding 
agencies and publishers have continuously evolved.
In 2017, the LTER adopted a new data access policy that reflects the 
current state of requirements and licensing options.
The IOC and SCC have discussed and endorsed the adoption of this new 
data access policy.
At the July 2018 COS business meeting, time has been scheduled for a 
discussion of this change with the
entire COS.

Below you will find the full text of the new dataset intellectual right 
section currently under consideration for adoption by Hubbard Brook.
For comparison, you can view the data access policy that we currently 
include with published data: https://hubbardbrook.org/information-management

Please review this text, and come to the COS meeting on July 13th with 
your questions/comments/suggestions.
