      1. Munsell - will be built! RIT involved in governance (Shawn leading)

      2. Place names will continue within the ARDC HASS program (Len, Sandra and Steve) ARDC-led

        • Link to ARDC Geospatial COP?

        • Exploring MoU with ICSM and ARDC

        • Explore other infrastructures as well as RVA

    • New topic of interest (have been recognised as needed to be done by Big Brother Dagstuhl (as opposed to DUD)):

      1. Different approaches to reusing, extending or subsetting - another 'template', or set of 'rules' or 'concerns' -

        • Who: Simon, Rowan, Nick, Edmond, Sandra, Susan, Mark - to investigate a starting point

        • Where: To be determined.

      2. Vocabulary creation ?

  • Meet again in a year's time?

    • Should it be a week-long activity again? - Yes if possible

    • Virtual or F-2-F or Hybrid (a mix of both)

      1. Allow blocks of time to work on stuff raised at the meeting - less intense.

      2. I found starting at 10:00 am and finishing at 4:00 helpful

      3. 2 days f2f kick-off and then the rest virtual?
