[Rdap] Cost Action on data publication - anyone interested?

[Joe Hourcle]

I realized that the RDAP folks might be interested in this topic.  (I know there's some overlap on the mailing list, and this was initially looking for Europeans, but there's been further discussion about how the US folks can try to get funding, too.)

Cost is broken up into 9 scientific Domains, not including Trans-Domain Proposals (TDP) which give the opportunity to cover several scientific Domains per proposal.

It's a two stage proposal process, and the first stage is pretty light touch, involving only a couple of pages of justification. They key part of the first proposal is collecting names of researchers interested who come from countries all around Europe. (Though note that if we decide to go for a Trans-Domain Proposal, it's only a one-stage proposal process of 10-15 pages)
