• ARK tutorial given at IIIF in Leeds June 5 and Europeana Pro June 12 in Warsaw
• upcoming NAAN form changes will give us better demographics
• dw: it would be good for us to review the new form and to be able to comment on it
• jk: that would be welcome

Item	Owner
Finding blog post authors	John

• How to recruit new authors and posts? One tool: blog post story template
• Please think about writing a post yourself or asking your colleagues -- 2 paragraphs and picture works well

Item	Owner
Planning ARKA Community Call, Nov 14	all

• what audience should we target?
• what topics should we cover?
• ss: people need to feel more included in the governance; eg, although PKP does not have open governance, people feel included because they have open community calls; maybe ARKA could do something similar
• jk: maybe our Outreach WG could focus on (or become) an Open Community group andhost regular open meetings?
• dw: w3c has Interest groups (https://www.w3.org/groups/), so does RDA; so Outreach could be an Interest Group
• jp: we can learn from how PKP does things

Item	Owner
Documentation change: classic to modern ARKs	all

• please review ARK documentation changing to show modern ARKs (ark:) by default instead of classic ARKs (ark:/)
• dw: is there a procedure for commonly used platforms on a per-platform basis? eg, OJS, Apache, WordPress, Nginx, Omeka
• ss: especially with OJS, this would be important
• jk: would be great if you (ss) were interested to meet with me and the developer of the plugin?
• dw: maybe we could have a blank page for each platform with an invitation to contribute, and build out the page with user input
• ss: pkp forum has key role in community with OJS
• dw: question to consider: is there a plan for n2t
• jk: n2t handles both forms, and normalizes to classic; it is important, however, for local resolvers also to handle both forms

Old action items

12:39:19 From Donny to Everyone:
    PKP has three clear, distinct products that they steward: OJS (for journals), OMP (for books), OPS (for preprints). That makes their scope a bit different than the ARK Alliance’s (current) scope, no?

13:01:49 From John Kunze to Everyone:
    yes, n2t does both modern and classic
13:03:13 From Donny to Everyone:
    Replying to "Does N2T.NET currently solve modern ARKs?":
