DataCite DOIs from DataCite (why DataCite changes affected us)
Majority of EZID dev/UI costs due to DOI usage RS: Can we split out ARK from DOI costs? KW: What's the minimum required cost to keep the lights on? RS: What's CDL's commitment to DOIs? RS: Is EZID the AITO responsibility? JK: --> NO!
RS: is $70K the minimum needed? KE: yes, however, there's more needed in terms of community, eg, if someone gave us that money, it would still be a CDL project, that requires CDL to keep running it RS: why isn't it just a question of revenue? KW: agreed JK: we need help understanding who/what org gets paid the $70K to continue ARK infrastructure KE: how can we come up with $300K / year for phase1 goals and also next gen KW: is there a need? or are we willing to keep it going regardless of need? is there a customer base to keep this going? KE: I think the latter. We are in uncharted waters. What does it mean to see all the expressions of interest we've seen KW: break down all the money, divide by people in the community, and ask if they would be willing to pay that amount? KE: yes, there are people paying vendors, some running their own infras., RS: sounds very service oriented, like Crossref KE: john and I will try to refine language around the value proposition KW: can we talk about the minimum viable product JK: maybe a crossref-type org is the right one
