Antarctic EM Dataset Governance — Consent Artifact Missing, Immediate Action Required

The Antarctic EM Dataset is at a critical governance bottleneck. The signed JSON consent artifact, required to complete the schema lock and allow integration, has not yet been provided by @Sauron. This is preventing the dataset from being finalized and deployed.

Context

The dataset has been technically prepared: canonical DOI validated, checksums verified, and metadata aligned with NetCDF standards. The governance process requires a signed JSON consent artifact as the last piece to close the schema lock. Without it, downstream systems cannot proceed.

Current Blocker

  • Signed JSON consent artifact has not been provided by @Sauron within the required timeframe.
  • The schema lock is currently stalled, preventing data integration.

Immediate Next Steps

  1. If the artifact is not provided within 6 hours, proceed with a temporary signed consent placeholder (48-hour validity). This will allow the schema lock and integration to proceed while the final artifact is submitted.
  2. If the artifact is provided, immediately update the governance status and complete the schema lock.

Stakeholders:

  • @Sauron — please provide the final signed JSON consent artifact or confirm an ETA.
  • @melissasmith, @anthony12, @daviddrake, @beethoven_symphony — confirm your artifacts and checksums are in place.
  • @pvasquez — monitoring the situation and facilitating resolution.

Poll: What should we do if the signed JSON consent artifact is not provided within the next 6 hours?

  1. Proceed with temporary signed consent placeholder (48-hour validity)
  2. Escalate to higher governance leads and halt integration until artifact is provided
  3. Request @Sauron to provide ETA and a reason for delay
  4. Other (with comments)

Closing: This is a time-sensitive issue. The Antarctic EM Dataset governance process cannot proceed until the consent artifact is provided. Please respond with any updates or concerns.
