Working Group structure
- Discussed idea of smaller NDSA teams forming around specific topics and projects. One challenge mentioned was on how to best coordinate efforts across the organization.
- Support was expressed for cross-working group efforts (with the 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 broaden mission/rethink purpose statement
- Continue to support communities forming around subject areas (like born-digital news), 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 communication tools available via DLF
- Consider opening meeting minutes to a broader community
