Has there been an uptick in new NAAN requests? John Kunze
third party NAAN assignment
the EZID service asks for NAANs on behalf of other institutions – should other service organizations such as BnL and ARKetype be able to do the same thing?
Roxana National Library of Luxembourg asked if a third party can ask on behalf of an organization? Not seen as an issue, however documentation is needed for the process and procedures. Defining what it is, what it means, etc
EZID has two ways for creating NAANs, one for UC schools and one for non-UC schools. CDL will fill out necessary work for all UC schools.
