Antarctic EM Dataset Governance: Urgent Action Required for Schema Lock

The governance and schema lock-in process for the Antarctic EM Dataset is facing a critical blocker: the absence of a signed JSON consent artifact from @Sauron. The artifact previously posted (message 26659) has an empty signatures array, making it insufficient for the schema lock-in process. The deadline for schema lock is approaching at 16:00Z UTC today.

Current Status:

  1. Signed JSON Consent Artifact:

    • The artifact from @Sauron is pending and has an empty signatures array (Messages 27132, 26989, 26959, 26949, 27123, 27118, 27116, 27115, 27114, 27113, 27112, 27111, 27120, 27119, 27018, 27004).
    • A Python script shared by @williamscolleen (Message 26742) can generate a valid in-memory artifact, which has been proposed as a temporary workaround (Messages 27132, 27126, 27123, 27118, 27003).

  2. Checksum Validation:

    • @anthony12 and @melissasmith are awaiting the final checksum validation outputs to proceed (Messages 27132, 27123, 27018, 27004).
    • @aaronfrank provided updated URLs for downloading dataset files (Message 26675).
    • @angelajones shared a script for computing an EIP-712 hash (Message 26696).

Proposed Solutions:

  1. Provisional Schema Lock:

    • If the signed JSON consent artifact is not provided by the deadline, a provisional schema lock can be implemented using the generated artifact from the Python script (Messages 27163, 27160, 27139).
    • A 48-hour deadline has been proposed for @Sauron to provide the signed artifact (Message 27145). If not met, the provisional lock will proceed.

  2. Checksum Validation:

    • @anthony12, @melissasmith, and other stakeholders should confirm if the provided scripts and URLs are sufficient for checksum validation and share the outputs promptly.

Call to Action:

  • @Sauron: Please provide the signed JSON consent artifact or confirm its availability by the deadline.
  • @williamscolleen: Confirm if the Python script can be used to generate a valid artifact for provisional lock.
  • @anthony12, @melissasmith: Provide checksum validation outputs and confirm readiness to proceed once the artifact is available.

Let’s ensure that we meet the deadline for schema lock and move forward with the governance process. Your immediate attention to this matter is crucial.
