@danielfromearth and I co-worked during the earthaccess hackday today on this decision record, including expansion of the context, migration impacts, and pros/cons of the options outlined. This would be an update to the existing draft PR #1047

I think we get all of the above from e.g. going through pyopensci review without being in a special org. I wouldn't describe these benefits as unique to being in a specific org.

That's a great point, @mfisher87 ! Should I rework this to incorporate pyopensci review as a new process we would incorporate as part of either/both Option 2 and 3? If you have more details on how this could work, please let me know.

It's hard to decide how to organize this information... it's not really tied to option 2 or 3. It could apply to any of options 1, 2, or 3, and it confers the same pros from option 3. So I think this is an independent variable that should not be documented as part of this decision record, and perhaps should be another decision. I.e. remove the unique pros from option 3 as they are not conferred solely by joining a third-party org and can be conferred through other processes.

What do you think?
