NCIP Conference Call Minutes
Aug. 27, 2007
1 Call Participants
2 Agenda
2.1 Congratulations, Mark Wilson
With this call, Mark Wilson concludes his participation on the NCIP Imple- menters Group as he is retiring from his position at TLC. Wilson reported that no one from TLC has yet been named to fill his spot in the group.
2.2 Fall Meeting - Two or Three Days?
Koppel asked whether there was any requirement for the group to seek explicit approval from the NCIP list for any proposals or other decisions reached at an in-person meeting. Bodfish reviewed the group procedures and determined that the group has an obligation to post proposals and other information from the meeting to the list for feedback, but there are no requirements that the list “approve” the proceedings.
Walsh listed the open action items from the minutes of the June 2007 meeting in Washington, D.C. Very little actual progress has been made since that meeting, and most of the action items remain open. As a result, the group decided that the fall meeting should cover 3 days, and there should be an emphasis on generating concrete drafts, proposals, and other tangible artifacts in preparation for bringing something ballot in 2008. The fall meeting will be in Atlanta at the EnvisionWare offices November 13-15, 2007. Walsh agreed to publish the hotel information to the list following the call.
2.3 NISO Topic Group Reorganization
Koppel reported that NISO has finalized its restructuring around topic commit- tees. NCIP has been assigned to one of the topic committees, but not the one Koppel is chairing. He suggested the Zemon (as the NCIP IG Chair) or Walsh (as the Maintenenace Agency) contact the appropriate topic committee chair and provide him or her with a brief status update on our plans and progress. Koppel agreed to provide the necessary name and contact information. [Follow up information: Zemon contacted Mike Teets, chair for the Discovery to Deliv- ery Topic Committee. Teets needs nothing from us at this time, and he is very interested in our feedback for him going forward. He agreed to keep us informed of the progress of his committee.]
2.4 Upcoming Nag Calls
Zemon reminded the group about the calls scheduled for September 24 and October 29. The goal for the September call is to identify the short list of items that need to be completed by the October call so that people have an opportunity to review and digest the topics prior to the November meeting. These calls are planned for 3pm Eastern / 2pm Central / 1pm Mountain / 12pm Pacific. Access information will be published on the NCIP website.
