- Governance Group - Review subgroups and organization before end of June. Jennifer Vinopal Rosalyn Metz
- Maurice York and Robin Lindley Ruggaber to ask their teams how things are currently structured on disk to compare against the OCFL spec.
- Robin - the structure on disc is the way the Samvera stack structures them (for Fedora 4). Did not receive a satisfactory answer for Fedora 3. Not sure if we will move that forward. But we expect to be able to migrate.

- Steering has been working on drafting this MOU with Lyrasis to cover all aspects. This is not like the previous so everyone should review this. Every project will have a separate MOU with Lyrasis. Main thing for people to be aware of is that joining with an organization and budget that is larger will have more available resources and staff. This MOU does not cover the costs to Fedora for these services. The MOU states the costs would be in the Appendix. Change of budget to match the Lyrasis fiscal year July-June. This will not affect the membership cycle as that was already running on the July-June year. Hoping to send out a note to all members of Leadership so those not here today can review and ask questions. Allocation of resources will be flexible year to year based on funding. It might be good to specify which parts of the resources to be allocated differently will be up to the control of the Fedora Leaders and which will be due to budgetary reasons.
- Important to other parts of the plan and so is almost ready to go out if all questions are resolved. Does this paper speak to how this provides value to single institution? Because of the various people in an organization this is more general to help fine tune the product position message to send out. Robert does not feels that this speaks to the product position of Fedora to an institution and he will add any suggestions to this paper. Because Fedora is more flexible but does not provide a more cohesive framework like DSpace there is a comment that this could be both Fedora's strength and its weakness. Robin will add a note to the document about this comment.
- There have been some discussions about having this as a standing part of the leadership meeting. We have been seeing quite a bit of erosion in the next year. Leaders will need to review changes to the membership and work towards stemming the negative impact. There have been various groups shifting away from Fedora so it will be a question
