The WDAC (WCRP Data Advisory Council) is the WCRP’s coordinating body on data issues. This includes providing guidance on reanalysis efforts, homogenizing data formats for model comparisons, data assimilation, and observational studies. The CliC community can provide important input to the WDAC by keeping the WDAC informed on new data products, new methods, and new observational initiatives in the cryosphere community. CliC can also act as a conduit to provide recommendations from the cryospheric community on data issues and 
helping to disseminate WDAC activities and recommendations to scientists. Learn more here: http://www.wcrp-climate.org/WDAC.shtml
Walt Meier is the CliC representative to this committee. Feel free to contact him for more information and to share your ideas.
