| CDL management |
| KE: After talking to CDL management- CDL is committed to the ARK identifier, which is incorporated into several of our service offerings
- CDL is committed to the EZID identifier service and the N2T identifier resolver, which again support several of our internal service offering
KW: fantastic news, wonderful, and positive message from CDL; think we (Sustainability) should stop pursuing a business planning activity, which is very very challenging; I think we should re-focus on finding grants and getting community involvement JK: how? who can help us? FJ: we have confidence in CDL, but how to involve others; good that CDL is committed to ARKs, but would be nice for community to step further forward KE: yes, although CDL is not stepping back, the community must step forward LA: this will make the asks more specific in the existing WGs BM: it's good that CDL will still be important in ARK support; but how should the groups be reconfigured to support this LA: we should share this new info with the subgroups; sustainability could be dissolved; there could be ad hoc groups to take on grants rather than a standing group that focuses on grants KE: makes sense for JK to be involved or lead on some grants; probably start with a one-pager brought to the AG to see which funders to match it with KW: most funders don't fund day-to-day operations; would have to be research or innovation centered KE: CDL is not doubling down on pushing the technology forward (as they had in the past); it is suggesting grants for an open source project for next gen resolver ACTION: Kurt and John will create one-pager for next gen ARK resolver and one-pager next gen ARK id management platform JK: Tech WG update since last AG meeting in November: revising milestones and deliverables after review of progress, explicit new ?info inflection to request metadata, creation of subgroup (with Karen, Greg, and Bertrand) JK: NAAN registry maintenance still looking for volunteers; working on more automation and documentation KE: looking for partners willing to run a resolver replica BM: is there an N2T architecture document? KE: having that would useful in pursuing replication partners ACTION: KE and JK will create a high-level N2T architecture suitable for finding partners |
