Hello,
Just a reminder to start "Watching" [1] the two GitHub repositories
https://github.com/cf-convention/discuss (for general discussion and
standard names) and
https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions (for
proposed changes to the conventions) before *1st December 2020*.
After this date it will be impossible to start a new discussion other than
through the issue trackers on these sites.
All the best,
David
[1] By going to the "Watch" pull-down menu on those sites, and selecting
"Watching"
