     • Our problem is to find authors for these. Dan is a possible person to write them, but he can't do them all. Hilde might have the time for some. We need firm commitments to determine who else is needed.

Discussion at this meeting

• Questions and Survey Instruments in DDI: Maximizing the Value of Your Metadata - finalise? merge or separate? (Main focus for this meeting)
