3. Transferring VIVO Copyright (Terrie, 10 mins)
   • Values of VIVO community are carried forward to new copyright with Lyrasis. Get agreement from Lyrasis to guard these values.
   • Should copyright follow VIVO community in the case that the VIVO partnership with Lyrasis ends? So the copyright would be transferred to the new organization that houses VIVO. (VIVO is not a legal entity).  Further discussion on whether VIVO can be a legal entity.  There is a cost to build up the legal infrastructure to be our own legal entity.  The conversation continued around hosting VIVO and future revenue sharing.
