- IFest task force archived.
- Asset task force in progress. 68 assets (listservs, web sites, repos, other) identified so far. Includes Duraspace assets in support of VIVO – newsletter, CRM, etc. Another 10 "suggested" assets – things we might be missing. Next step is to identify some key people with institutional knowledge. Then review assets with identified stewards and then community members.

- VIVO/ORCID webinar April 16. 40 active participants at the webinar with 160 registered to watch the live and archived webinar. Good description of purpose, active work.
- comment – registration was capped at 160 people. 40 (at the peak) attended live. Duraspace caps enrollment to prevent turning people away during the live event, which can only handle 100.
