[gis_info] Geoscience FIT Zoom meeting Sept 9 or 10

[David Percy]

Based on input from the community, the best time is 1pm on Thursday Sept
10th.
Below is the Zoom connection info, I'll send out an agenda next week, but
the two main items are the new standards for Soils and Geology.
Approval of Soils standard, announcement of Geology standard for comment.
Cheers,
