Status on PRBEM business meeting at COSPAR 2024, Busan

Our issues with PRBEM document were received positively. Most people were quite positive about update. Update of data analysis procedure is included in the PRBEM resolution - will establish collaboration with GSICS.

Manik: this is a very important step. This resolution should be a news item. (1) the data analysis procedure and (2) the new COSPAR panel on machine learning and data science. News item does not have to be very long.
