3. Annual Section Meeting – Topics and format for presentations
- Possible formats:
- A hands-on workshop
- 3 person panel (small org, medium org, large org) with moderated discussion around the EOT theme - Sheri (large state effort), a small spontaneous effort, a medium sized effort, etc. Short presentation with extended QA try to make the panel more participatory and to keep conversation going
- Action: John will contact Sheri Laster; Karl will contact someone from EOT and Portland DataRefuge project. Committee will keep thinking about possible section meeting ideas.
4. Web Archiving Section microsite content
