Announcements
jc: as part of upgrading CDL infrastructure, a cutover was made yesterday ARK resolution is going through arks.org and ARK static pages are no longer going through the Dreamhost Wordpress site; it's now ok to shut down the Dreamhost account; CDL is still working on a newly refactored N2T code jk: we knew this was in the works, but it would have been nice to have advance notice with the precise time and date for such a major transition that affects all ARK resolution globally mp: i didn't know if it would be this week or in January, would be better to have advance notice jc: sounds great; the next major transition will be Nov 27 (newly refactored N2T); will coordinate with Maria on Outreach WG for mechanics on the changes mp: it is also undefined how changes to github get into the server at CDL/AWS; we need to understand this so that the ARKA can resume document maintenance jk: yes, over a dozen people had edit access to the Wordpress content, but no member of an ARKA working group currently knows how to make edits

Options for moving off the Lyrasis wiki
jc: googledocs seems ok jk: don't think we have big requirements for lyrasis move; would like to keep maintenance burden low jb: agree about low maintenance; google account may be good enough; not worth spending much time on; fine if you want to use IA's google workspace account jk: would it be ok to move 4 WG home pages to arks.org, as well as the FAQs (4 docs), conference calendar (leaving it to WGs to figure out how to handle meeting notes/agendas)? mp: ok by me mp: jc can you ask Lyrasis if we can stay on wiki until Dec 31? I can volunteer William Hicks to connect with jk and Outreach group
Next Steps for Advisory Group Discussion
(Phillips)
mp: what about sustainability, funding, org models, what does the AG want to do going forward? what about new AG members, new time schedule? mp: I'll push this discussion to the January meeting; i'm on sabbatical in Santa Fe until Thanksgiving jk: for January, I'd be interested in generating ideas for what we can do with offers of help (eg, the recent Dutch offer of staff and servers)
