	Item	Who	Notes
	Announcements		french FAQ has received about 60 likes and retweets 3 NAAN registrants in one 8 hour period
	Draft ARK History, in a wikipedia (WP) sandbox * Google doc version for commenting/editing Probably (a) too long for WP history and (b) not neutral enough for WP.  Questions: 1. who can help derive a WP-appropriate entry? 2. where might a longer-form entry be published?	John	JK: draft WP history needs citations and links PC: text might as well be in first person, and less neutral, be published helpful for it to be clearly a first person, non-neutral TS: agreed, and writer of WP history could cite it heavily JK: suggestions on where to publish? KE: can we put it on the wiki? TS: that might preclude publishing it as "original" work TS: another possibility is whitepaper in Escholarship ACTION: TS will undertake review with an eye to publishing as an article TS: what venues do you have in mind? JK: "First Monday"? TS: Code4lib journal might be a good venue PC: style and content will depend on venue; thinking less about peer-reviewed; venue could be a history page on a wiki, saying here's what one person did, here's the passing the torch, MG: history could use to be more of a timeline TS: there's a Taylor & Francis publication "Internet Histories", that I can't quite vouch for: https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/page-ah-internet-histories/ PC: both that and IEEE history of computing are humanities publications, and this piece might be too short and not far enough in the distant past; OTOH, they both do first person accounts; another format to consider would be in an interview format; is code4lib peer-reviewed TS: like the idea of an interview format KE: agreed PC: interviewer could be anyone of "us" JK: maybe include in end of year wrapup? TS: good idea TS: next steps MG: is there any call for action or participation KE: maybe there should be a second post next year with call to action
	End of year AITO project update * it's been one year since the previous project update (Dec 10, 2018) * what to include? (numbers of new ARK registrants, surveys done, new tech drafts published) * where to post?		JK: last update was Dec 10, 2018. JK: some accomplishments: * FAQ * french FAQ * 74 institutions joined in since our previous update one year ago * updated map picture
