Decisions & Actions
- With many items on the agenda, the order in which they were addressed was altered.
- Butch had circulated a proposal to have the NDSA leadership group take over the nomination and vetting process for the Digital Preservation Pioneer series that had been run on the digitalpreservation.gov website and now on The Signal blog. The proposal was discussed and approved by the leadership group. Helen Tibbo volunteered to be the point person for helping NDIIPP staff coordinate the first iteration of nominations and the process of selection. It was decided to select DP Pioneers 2-4 times a year. Helen and a group of NDIIPP staff will set up an initial meeting to outline a process and timeline for the first nomination.
- The only other agenda item we were able to address was the 2015 NDSA Agenda. After a lengthy discussion the decision was to respect the wishes of Library of Congress senior management and remove any mention of the Library of Congress from the NDSA boilerplate. This change is not being made on the NDSA web site or past NDSA publications but future NDSA publications that include any mention of the Library of Congress are requested to be reviewed by Library senior management.
- Micah will release the draft agenda to the NDSA membership and the final 2015 NDSA Agenda will be released approximately 2 weeks later.
- Erin will draft an outreach plan for the release and work with Micah and Abbey to finalize an outreach plan that will be shared with the leadership group and NDSA members.
