  • Charters are living documents and will be revised over time by group members.
  • ACTION Kate will review and revise the sustainability working group charter language. status: done
  • Objective of all the working groups to be aware of and share information important to their project. Potential partners, changes in the ecosystem, other emerging identifiers
  • Scholarly Kitchen article about DPN that would be worth reading. Touches on sustainability and membership, financial challenges. Important as we build this project that we ask the community what they would support that would meet their needs, not try to determine those needs without input.
  • Determine most cost-effective way to deliver a valuable project/service to ask for a level of support that seems affordable to our community. Want to include that goal. Need to be able to reassure in the context of recent DPN news and other collaborative project challenges. Why we are different, how we are being aware of the challenges for the project.
  • ACTION John will revise document based on comments and post on the wiki. status: done
  • Hoping for Q1 first meetings of the working groups; need to complete member recruitment using the working group charters.
