2022-11-16 NAAN Registry WG Agenda and Notes

Passed 1000 ARK organizations this month
jk: will  meet this week with UTSC library about their new ARK service (see code4lib article)

jk: submitted ARK panel proposal for Dec CNI meeting
mg: ok to forward EOSC PID workshop to other ARKA working groups

• 13 assignment requests, 4 update requests.
• 11 new NAANs, 5 updates (2 through the curation form, 3 direct manual updates, as they were recent entries).
• 1 pending assignment request: #55.
• #54: test ARKs, regex in the registration form needs to be changed (I like regex but I did not dare to propose a new pattern myself!)
• Bug in the update process through the curation form: for #57, I had to do it manually because the form tried to do a NAAN assignment and failed.
• New request, but the organization already has a NAAN : #49. Be cautious not to assign a new NAAN; agents might forget one of their predecessors already requested a NAAN.
• #46: though there is a doubt on which entity the NAAN is requested (does the provider requests it for a client organization or their entire system?), the warning in the answer is considered sufficient.

Action items from last time

• John Kunze clarify and revise the checklist and policy docs to guide curators on use and encouragement of shoulders instead of NAANs; ask rv for feedback
  
• John Kunze change contact form email to forward to Outreach

no  progress

Who is primary curator in the next few months?

next month: Chloé/Aurélien
