Notes

Conference Follow-up

1. Great attendance at conference sessions
2. Some follow up calls are already happening
   1. Need to coordinate with Andrew about these calls
3. Review presentations, follow up with speakers
   1. Ask if they want to present in a webinar or join a group
      1. e.g. ORCiD integration
   2. Membership is a longer term goal, but engagement comes first
      1. Is membership a near-term possibility for some of these institutions?
4. Organize regional talks
   1. Form regional user groups
5. This group needs to develop a strategic plan for the next 3-4 months
   1. Identify priority regions to focus on based on number of users

Membership renewal updates

1. So far we have lost 1 Platinum, 1 Bronze, and 1 Copper member
2. FY2022 budgets will probably be worse
3. However, COVID-19 highlights the importance of research information systems
   1. VIVO has an opportunity to capitalize on this
4. When do we sound the alarm?
   1. What if the budget gets cut more next year? What impact will that have on the project?
