[Board] should we be present with the board at the European Geoscience Union General Assembly 3.-8.May 2020 Vienna

Thu Jan 9 00:51:16 PST 2020

Dear Astrid,
as co-chair of the Open GeoScience committee with Peter I generally am at
EGU every year.

Let me know if you were thinking of something else in particular.

Best,
Maxi
