Administrative Issues to Discuss
Annual report is being worked on by Noreen. She has everything she needs for now and will reach out others as/if required.
World IA Day – Suggestions
A Survey monkey form without collecting IP information will be created by Noreen for organizers and the IAI to share with attendees. Ask people to provide email IF they want to get back to them.
UXPin Polar Bear sponsor issue?
Marcin sent a link to a YouTube about the UXPin video. We forwarded to local coordinators to show to the audience. Not sure if others had shown the video at any other site. A suggestion to Jessica to put a link to video on the website for World IA Day by Noreen. Jessica provided a follow-up email to Marcin about the process followed just prior to today’s Board meeting about what was done.
New IAI PowerPoint template created by Shari
Dan will post to the Basecamp site and people can access from that point. Vanessa will receive materials that need to be printed for the Summit workshops – ASIS&T provides this service. Shari will follow-up.
Website
Dorian provided an overview of the semantic approach to organizing data on all content for a new website for the IAI in time. Great progress is being made. Chris will continue to work with Dorian in this effort moving forward.
IA Summit – Passes. Podcast. AGM
Dick confirmed that UIE will do the summit podcasts this year. Focus on the joint efforts by IAI and ASIS&T as an alternative to doing the podcasts as in the past. Dan will be talking about our sponsorship in general. Noreen has bar packages and other options for AGM meeting. Podcast possibly have Jeff and Chris record and publish speaker interviews on Boxes and Arrows and Johnny Holland.
Proposal from University in Italy working on a project being funded by their Government
Asked if the IAI would be part of the research project. The IAI is only required to send in a letter of intent. ndrea will write a follow-up letter to the Board providing an overview and we need to make that decision by end of day tomorrow, Tuesday. All he requires is a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” from Board members.
VOTE: The decision to submit a letter of intent was passed by the Board via an email vote.
