Additional curator help, starting November
welcome back to Chloé Pochon
cp: seems like things have changed
mg: there's an experiment with using github projects
rv: I'd like to see how that works for my duty month starting today
rv: I will likely have a colleague who can join the group as well for the few next months
Contact form emails to Outreach rather than NAAN WG?

It might be more appropriate to promote the contact with institutions and organisations to the Outreach Group than the NAAN Register Group

The contact form must be regularised

Shared NAAN shoulder experience

jk: this month had a classic example of a NAAN request that should have been a shoulder request, because it was they wanted ARKs for concepts (99152); the same would apply if they wanted ARKs for people or agents (99166); this highlights the need for shoulder processing improvements (in parallel with NAAN processing), as well as shoulder validation (delayed). It allows to work in a environment which is favourable for the web semantic technologies
rv: there is a Semantic Web conference in Paris in November, where ARKs for concepts may be relevant. It's very difficult to have an ontology or terminology term, a long-term strategy for the URI. Romuald will do a feedback
ACTION: jk to clarify and revise the checklist and policy docs to guide curators on use and encouragement of shoulders instead of NAANs

Curators next month
Passing the baton to Romuald and Aurélien. Romuald should prepare the invitation and the reminder for the next meeting ?
