The statement will be reviewed and voted on, if appropriate.

1. Motion 3: Proposal from Berlin alliance to organize VIVO 2023 or 24 conference in Germany. I think that it’s good because besides BUA, we have also a great VIVO community lead by Christian. Everybody gives their opinion and vote.
2. Motion 4: Donations to VIVO (can talk about that?) who should move: membership IG? And MKT&Comm do the announcements? Make a proposal from Officers and present to vote.
3. Report on VIVO Presentations at CRIS 2022. (Anna, 10 mins)
4. Discussion of group Licenses for the VIVO products (Dragan, Christian, 5-10 mins). We should ask Dragan or Christian.  At the moment copyright owner is the Cornell University, we should discuss whether it is possible to change that, i.e. to define that the VIVO group is copyright owner. We will report on actions in this direction.
5. Report on Planning for the VIVO Conference (Ralph?, X Mins) is Ralph invited?

Contact Anna, Terrie is interested in participating.

Discussion (50 mins)

1. Motion 1: Approve the FY22-23 budget (link to the doc???)
   

   Terrie gave brief review of budget, and the process for any minor changes due to needs.  Overall, we are operating in the positive.  Any additional questions please contact Terrie or Laurie.

   Some talk about conferences and charging for them as a source of revienew.  In general since we are still virtual it was left at if we get money for any virtual sponsorship it would just be a plus and we should not budget for the income.

   Continued discussion for possible fundraising and how possible it is.  Again decided to leave budget at zero but hope for $$$

   So after the meeting Doug will send a Google Form for the vote.

   Looking to mirror specific development fund much like dspace has done. 
   https://duraspace.org/contributors-to-the-dspace-development-fund/ has the dspace dev fund announcement

   This allows for putting forth a specific software development goal that is needs to be accomplished and then raising the money to accomplish it.

   Quite a lot of positive discussion about this model and how it could benefit the project.

   Continue to discuss the model and talk about what has happened in Dspace.
