Working Group structure

  • Discussed idea of smaller NDSA teams forming around specific topics and projects. Once challenge mentioned was about how to best coordinate efforts across the organization.
  • Members on the call supported cross-working group efforts (with Standards WG on born-digital workflows, for example)

Activities

  • Seemed to be good support for continuing case studies and Signal blog posts (Content Matters interview series)
  • Member presentations are helpful and should continue

Focus

  • Opportunity to refocus and broaden mission/rethink purpose statement
  • Support communities forming around subject areas, but consider how this relates to the broader working group. Format/document type may be another approach to explore further.
  • Reach out to the Dodging the Memory Hole group around born-digital news

Communication

  • Explore other communication tools available via DLF
