TSI Steering Committee Meeting Minutes
Monday, November 25, 2013
Present: Adam, Boaz, Jim, Kate, Robert, Colleen
1. Summary (Kate and Jim) and discussion of TSI-related issues from the 2CUL Steering Committee meeting on 11/22
- All ALMA implementation has been postponed. It will not happen by the end of the Mellon Grant (2015).
- There will not reporting of staff to another person at another institution. Language for this still needs to be worked out. And we don’t have a model for this arrangement. (ReCAP & Orbis Cascade Alliance were mentioned as examples.)
2. How to present Phase 2 items in the working group charges to the team leads
Should we adjust WG charges? Some WGs won’t need adjustments because they aren’t ALMA dependent. (Ex. Non-MARC metadata). We can ask the WG to prioritize tasks. Liaison should ask for quarterly reports.
3.Potential changes in the role of our TSI Steering Committee liaisons for Phase 2
Joint workflows might mean the need for more coaching from the liaisons. There should be more back and forth in phase 2, more questions should come to the liaison for feedback. The second phase is a longer time frame. 2CUL may be a harder sell without ALMA and we may face increased skepticism. Will the liaison role include coordinating politics? What is the role of JSMIN? What will JSMIN look like in a few years? Will JSMIN be driving TSI in 2 years?
