Agenda

I.               Implementer updates

TLC – waiting on SSL certificate for Melcat in order to begin testing; waiting on OCLC to do testing; heard from Baker & Taylor that they will not have development resources until the end of March and they are advising customers to use SIP in the mean time; Solano-Nappa Valley (SNAP) revived their URSA server, but not in time for the TLC implementation

Polaris – testing the Access360 with Baker & Taylor (who right now can only do patron authentication); doing some testing with small company in the Midwest and will encourage them to join this group; testing with Relais International

BorrowDirect – recently saw a call for proposals from a Northwest ILL conference looking for innovative uses of technology; Collins was thinking of submitting a proposal to talk about NCIP at the infrastructure level (“Deconstructing NCIP”); in order to do that, Collins would need some assistance from vendors to get technical details; Collins would like to know that support might be available from the NCIP SC before he gets too far into a proposal

eXtensible Catalog (XC) – coding is complete to make the Drupal interface use the NCIP 2 toolkit; however, there is some functionality needed in the next revision, so they have decided to hold the Drupal toolkit until that coding is also complete.  Stewart added that the National Library of Australia may be about to receive funding for a small project to connect to Voyager using the NCIP toolkit.

Ex Libris – working with some sites within PALSI to integrate Relais and Voyager; have done testing recently with OCLC

Innovative Interfaces – still talking with Baker & Taylor regarding Access360 and hope to begin development soon; preparing to implement with Relais at Wycomico in Maryland

II.             Status of revised documents

NISO is currently working on the final editing for Parts 1 and 2.  Next steps, then, are final approval from NCIP SC and D2D, then balloting before the appropriate voting pool.  The balloting will be open for between 30 and 45 days.  This update will include changes made as part of 2.01 (which was never formally balloted) and 2.02 from the in-person meeting last October.  The hope is to wrap all of this up around the time of the April meeting.

III.           Deadline for change requests for next meeting

March 1 is the deadline for change requests.  Gray posted an item about missing elements in the UserAddressRoleType scheme, and Walsh agreed to accept it as an editorial correction in the next revision.  No other change requests have been received at this time.

IV.            New Business

Cook raised the issue of the misperception of NCIP in the email post from the group working on the DAIA specification.  (This item was briefly discussed during the last call.)  There was no additional discussion on this call.

Sandstrum reported that he had received a request to add a user (as a vendor) to the NCIP registry.  He followed up with the person who submitted the request, but he did not receive any response.  Also, there are some necessary patches that need to be applied to the server, and he will work with Gray to get them applied.

V.              Next meetings:

a.     Monthly call – March 15, 2012 @ 1 pm Eastern time (U.S.)

b.     In-person meeting – April 25-26, 2012 (hosted by TLC)

Dicus asked the group to send him any agenda items for the April meeting.
