Agenda

Announcements (0 mins) 

• Under the win some/lose some: Berlin Alliance will join VIVO as Platinum members; University of Idaho (US) is 
  dropping their membership
• Statement on the War in Ukraine (template from Sigma) Group still being edited.
• VIVO Presentations at CRIS 2022 and Open Repositories
• Anna has spoken with a person from Colombia, from the Universidad Pontificia Javeriana 
  (https://www.javeriana.edu.co/inicio), because they want to start the implementation of a CRIS with VIVO. She 
  contacted Anna through one of the members of the VIVO Iberoamerican group. She asked Anna many 
  questions about VIVO and about the implementation of a CRIS. Anna invited her to the Iberoamerican user 
  group and Anna will probably show her the VIVO SIGMA implementation (which we are working on). If you 
  have other thoughts on how to help them, please contact Anna.

Discussion (50 mins) 

1. At the last VIVO Leadership Group meeting, we discussed VIVO creating a Conflict of Interest Policy

   The statement will be reviewed and voted on, if appropriate.
2. Vote on VIVO-Lyrasis MOU. (Bruce, 5 mins)
   Is there any need for discussion on the state of VIVO-Lyrasis collaboration? Do we need to improve 
   the relationship in anyway? If not, then we can sign the MOU (current MOU is attached)
3. Discussion of group Licenses for the VIVO products (Dragan, Christian, 5-10 mins). 
   At the moment copyright owner is the Cornell University, we should discuss whether it is possible to 
   change that, i.e. to define that the VIVO group is copyright owner. We will try to define some actions 
   in this direction.

   People from Ontology IG met with Jan Dvorak (CERIF leader from euroCRIS) and Dragan to advance
