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.

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.

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


Newsletter outline finalize (Julien, Peter)

Julien shared the draft newsletter

Has a stats map and two news items

If we use mailchimp:

  • We need a proper “sender” email address; not Julien’s gmail.
  • Who are the recipients? 

Will we just have a static page that people can go to?

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. 

WordPress / generates a feed that mailchimp checks weekly.  If it finds new content, it sends out a formatted newsletter.

Who has access to the account that any email responses come to?

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

Prepare additional news articles

Ideas:

  • Member spotlight?
  • Growth at N2T
  • Standing footer in newsletter:  Do you have ARK-related news you’d like to see in this newsletter? Let us know and we’ll contact you.

Timing – Julien not available for next 3 weeks.
