Minutes NCIP-IG Conference Call Meeting
Sept. 18, 2003
Attendees:
It was agreed that the main purpose of this call was to set up the next meeting which will be the first with the NCIP Maintenance Agency.
1. Membership.
The group welcomed Colorado State Library as the newly appointed Maintenance Agency for NCIP. Steve Wrede and Steve Gregory from Colorado State Library were on the call. Brenda Bailey-Hainer, Director, Networking and Resource Sharing Colorado State Library, was not able to be on the call but will be able to attend the meeting in November. Colorado State Library will host the meeting and once the dates are set will probably arrange for the meeting to take place in a hotel close to the State Library. They are working on arrangements.
2. Next meeting.
Thurs.-Friday November 13-14 were agreed to as the meeting dates. There were no objections. The site of the meeting will be Denver since the major discussion topic will be how NCIP-IG will work with the Maintenance Agency, and like most libraries these days Colorado State Library has limited funds for travel. Meeting in Denver should make it easier for their staff to attend this first meeting with NCIP-IG.
3. Agenda for November meeting.
It was agreed that topics for the agenda would be collected at this meeting, then distributed and discussed on the list. A major topic will be working with the maintenance agency but any topics suggested on the list should be added and can be prioritized and scheduled based on the time available at the meeting.
Agenda Topics:
1. How NCIP-IG will work with the Maintenance Agency
Review the entire list of activities for Maintenance Agency in Appendix G of the protocol
Review NCIP-IG Purpose and Structure from inaugural meeting to see if procedures outlined there can help with some reviews of defects, etc.
2. Apply defect/amendment review procedures to existing proposals. Use the proposals on the NCIP-IG list that have already been discussed at meetings and on the email list by NCIP-IG. There are currently 4 outstanding proposals which can be found at PROPOSALS. (Editor's note: These proposals are no longer available.) Tony O'Brien may combine the 2 proposals he made into one before the Nov. meeting. Mark Needleman will turn the recent list discussion of the use of the NCIP version message into a proposal before the Nov. meeting.
3. Discuss DTD to Schema change. This was proposed by Kevin Stewart as an implementers' agreement and did not get consensus. It should be discussed.
4. Discuss Web Service. Should NCIP be a web service?
5. Status of current implementations. Members can report.
6. Update and review message chart for Active Implementations. Review existing and proposed Implementers Agreements
7. Web seminar for consultants
8. ALA NISO NCIP presentation. It was suggested there should be an update on NCIP by presenting successes. At one time Pat Harris seemed to think this might be a topic for the mid-winter ALA NISO session. Steve Wrede will talk to her. Possibly it might be a summer ALA thing. A panel would be good.
9. NCIP policy information. Report from group who looked at this issue after the April meeting.
10. Vote for NCIP-IG chair
11. Schedule NCIP-IG meetings for the next year.
NEXT MEETING
November 13-14, 2003 in Denver. In the next week Colorado State Library will post information about the hotel where the meeting will be held. It was agreed that Frances will solicit agenda topics on the discussion list and build an agenda via the list. If it is felt that a conference call is needed in October to complete planning for the meeting it will be scheduled.
