Rebranding: what's ahead, what's on hold | Kurt | Discussed Feedback on AITO name and open canvas framework with both CDL and with the AITO Advisory Group There is other CDL branding work underway and CDL doesn't have the bandwidth for the whole branding exercise. Advisory group agreed that AITO project had been accomplished and a new name is needed for longstanding organization. ARKs Alliance terminology had support from both CDL and the AG Gould: still concerned about AA acronym. Kunze: would like more proposals Peter: suggested Archival Resource Key Alliance (ARKA) Looking for ARKA domain names – most seem taken. Kurt will look for domain availability Group preferred ARKA to TAA John will investigation international implications for the ARKA term | |

Peter: send to already existing listservs pertaining to ARKs Capacity for people to subscribe to newsletter Discussed the possibility of getting mailchimp to pick up content from a blog.

Add option to subscribe to newsletter in NAAN registration process? First newsletter will be composed directly in mailchimp Figure out where the blog will live; can hook blog to newsletter after the first newsletter ha gone out Prepare additional news articles Ideas:
