GCMD Governance and Community Guide Document

The Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keyword Governance and Community Guide Document, Version 1.0, is intended to provide the community with a comprehensive resource that describes the governance structures and process for reviewing proposed changes to the GCMD keywords. The document includes an overview of the structure of the keywords, requirements and recommendations to consider when requesting keyword changes, and instructions for submitting change requests. The process described in this document will be the basis of all future GCMD keyword reviews. The community is invited to provide feedback.
