- Provide recommendations and suggested direction to DW and regional modeling team members
- Stewards will focus on 3 types of projects/data requests
- Status of approved/active/completed data requests
- Address new data requests by identifying the steward and recommending sufficient clarity of purpose and complete documentation
- Review incomplete request and recommend next steps for DW team members, if any
- Brief Technical Committee and Oversight Committee at their periodic meetings
- Not explicitly focused on model performance or improvement, but throughput and cycling for DW and regional modeling team
