Notes

1. VIVO Leadership Group meeting update
   1. Bruce asked Christian to provide feedback on VIVO in a box from the German perspective
2. User groups
   1. DSpace example of establishing a consortial membership for German institutions
      1. 35 members in a consortium that combined pay more than 2 Platinum memberships
      2. Consortium acts as a Platinum member, elects one representative in governance
      3. Mic will talk to Christian about this
3. VIVO in a box
   1. American universities want something simple to implement
   2. European institutions have different needs
      1. Self-edit capabilities (required by GDPR)
      2. Research impact - needed for public funding
      3. VIVO Scholar would have been useful in the past but institutions have already invested in VIVO core to the point where it would cost too much to switch
   3. VIVO can be another discovery layer for the repository
      1. More interoperability between LYRASIS programs would be beneficial
   4. Targeted at new, smaller users. Existing users likely won't benefit
      1. Can the community maintain both VIVO and VIVO in a box?
      2. Need to reach out to smaller institutions to validate the proposal
