			The Web Archiving Survey was launched this week (see blog post here: http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2011/10/take-our-web-archiving-survey/). So far we've received about 25 responses. We got a few questions about it (answers posted to the blog post). Abbie encouraged members to fill out and spread the word.

	Abbie and Kristine reported on the status of the blog preservation action team. They had a good meeting (minutes ~~distributed previously~~) with Andrew Nacin at Wordpress who is eager to help us develop something (whatever we want really) to enable preservation of blogs or opt in to preservation. There are some policy decisions to make still - LC will try to set up a meeting by early November to discuss those. Any interested NDSA members and others will be invited.

How do we motivate people? We agreed these are all good questions that we have to sort out together.

			Perhaps one element could be that the clearinghouse has the potential to help tell the baseline story of what's at risk, at a national level, to perhaps help generate press and funding (could LC or other federal institutions or IMLS use this to rally financial support for digital preservation?). And the Registry can help tell the story of what we are preserving.

			Another incentive might be in documenting the condition of collections.

			We talked about the need to link the two activities - perhaps there are links between the two that allow gaps in the Registry to be identified and made note of in the Clearinghouse. Perhaps organizations that don't meet the levels of preservation for the registry would self identify as in need of help with preservation in the clearinghouse. Much to still be determined.

			Next steps: everyone agreed the approach outlined seems good. We will try to break the work down into discrete tasks that people can volunteer to help with: building the tool, doing out reach, drafting the text to help determine what's at risk, and so forth.

			Abbie encouraged all to continue the discussion on the listserv.

			Kristine reported that she and Cathy and Abbie had been discussing where to get next with the Clearinghouse work, how to tackle the next phase. An objective is to keep it low-barrier so that people will contribute. We want to provide a way to allow nominations of at-risk content and collections. Anyone should be able to nominate. It's up the submitters to determine what gets nominated - be it a specific object, or a collection, or what have you. So proposed for moving forward:
			1) Create a simple checklist of what we mean by "at risk" to help submitters determine what should be added to the clearinghouse.
			2) NDSA's strength is in its network - we as a community can help make connections between content in need of preservation and organizations who could help preserve.
			3) Provide a tool for nomination. The outreach working group has been working with Omeka on a project to gather up stories about data loss. Maybe we could use something simple like that?
