Calls for papers, submission deadlines, upcoming meetings: Calendar of events
Any news items we should blog about?
New terminology: saying "an organization or assignment stream that has a NAAN" is a bit long and, for outsiders, a bit technical way to refer to an entity that has the ability to create ARKs. Consider adopting this approximation/shorthand to help connect better with users and without having to first teach them what "NAAN" means: "an ARK organization".
the NAAN WG is ok with this terminology
propose that we begin with small experiments to see if it helps in practice; withdraw or revise if it doesn't help
We've blogged about the upcoming change in the recommended form of newly published ARKs (starting on STARTDATE) – from ark:/12345 (oldform) to ark:12345 (newform)
what is STARTDATE? how do we determine what STARTDATE is?
when do we change documentation on the website and wikipedia?
recall that all sites producing newform ARKs must also serve all their ARKs in newform or oldform, regardless of production date, eg, 2025
at CUTOVERDATE, all sites should serve all their ARKs in either newform or oldform, regardless of production date, eg, 2006
