Minutes of the last meeting

There were no requested changes to minutes from our prior meeting.

Update of the NDSA meeting in December

A few of our group were at the NDSA organizational meeting held in Washington, D.C. in December, and reported on their observations of the meeting. Michael expressed concern about the absence of "big" content holders from the room. He was hoping to see more commitment - institutions with a lot of content, such as the ARL libraries. There were not a lot of them in the room. Otherwise he thought it was a helpful meeting. John felt it helpful to hear what everyone's definition of an action group was, and that the back and forth with more granularity about the working groups helped him figure out which groups he can help contribute to. With the new Wiki and additional information up there, plus the opportunity to freely comment upon things will be helpful. From an agenda planning perspective and the goals to accomplish during the meeting, felt like it was very productive. Abbie reported that LC is working on minutes to the meeting and will be sharing that with the organizational committee first then more widely. There are a list of to-dos for LC that we are working on. Cathy reported that she and Abbie presented our charter and that there was agreement from the meeting attendees about our work plan and approach. Feedback was positive. The discussion of Membership at the meeting had the biggest debate with a few camps/sides: an open model (let everyone who wants to join be a member) vs. more restrictive (application review, more rules about who can and cannot join (tech companies were a concern). LC is taking all of the feedback and coming up with a follow-up proposal about membership.

Discussion and planning to move forward with our two work areas
