Roadmap document
-- get this done WENDY
EDDI TC meeting agenda
-- overall
Lifecycle get to the point where we can get something out to look at
--Schema changes, COGS stuff, and specific issues about objects
Codebook handfull of issues
CDI - what needs to get done
Controlled Vocabulary - what's left
Infrastructure needs piece

TC Organization paper
Two basic models
-- Bit of a problem with the product working groups reporting directly to the Scientific Board due to the workflow of product releases through the TC
-- The important thing is that the TC has a responsibility for the infrastructure
-- Autonomy of the working groups retained but clearer relationships [rationalize relationships]

RDF common set working group
Those who expressed interest have received draft of announcement. Please review so Dan can send out

IASSIST
No DDI meetings at IASSIST this year
No TC members have submitted presentations - please notify us if you do

Review of CDI processing

  • Have a list people to contact - recheck with Arofan for any additions

  • Time period is decided

  • Need text for email

  • Get issue filing information updated on site

  • Updates from Flavio this week

  • Generate packages and get to TC

  • So still possible within November

  • May be able to get out by EDDI with a 6 week review period

  • OK on the approach for issue filing (Jon still needs to verify that general Atlassian login filing works - don't anticipate a problem)
