[Sigmet-officers] SIG/MET Business Meeting Report

[Isabelle Dorsch]

Hello all,

thank you for that input. It was nice to attend the meeting!
I guess, there was something a little bit mixed up, Christine Meschede 
is currently not part of SIG SM. So instead of her, the chair will be 
probably Aylin Ilhan.

> SIG/SM – SIG/MET Liaison (SIG/SM is the newest SIG focusing on social 
> media)
> ISABELL DORSCH AND CHRISTINE MESHEDE

Best,
Isabelle
