Planning session for the Ionospheric Conductance Challenge

First event: 2016 Oct 13-15 ICME event. The concept for the challenge is that modelers would run at least two versions of their code, one with an "old" conductance specification and another with a "new" specification. At this session, we will decide on common settings between model runs and specific data-model comparisons that all teams should conduct.

Additional speaker(s): George Khazanov
