Notes
Conference Follow-up
- Great attendance at conference sessions
- Some follow up calls are already happening
- Need to coordinate with Andrew about these calls
- Review presentations, follow up with speakers
- Ask if they want to present in a webinar or join a group
- e.g. ORCiD integration
- Membership is a longer term goal, but engagement comes first
- Is membership a near-term possibility for some of these institutions?
- Organize regional talks
- Form regional user groups
- This group needs to develop a strategic plan for the next 3-4 months
- Identify priority regions to focus on based on number of users
Membership renewal updates
- So far we have lost 1 Platinum, 1 Bronze, and 1 Copper member
- FY2022 budgets will probably be worse
- However, COVID-19 highlights the importance of research information systems
- VIVO has an opportunity to capitalize on this
- When do we sound the alarm?
- What if the budget gets cut more next year? What impact will that have on the project?
