VIVO Management Team and Working Groups
Management Team
The Management Team, an extension to the DuraSpace model, is led by the full-time Project Director funded by the project and employed by DuraSpace. This Team includes Working Group leaders and the principal VIVO-funded project positions. DuraSpace staff members participate as needed to address issues including development, ontology, fundraising, engagement, and communications.
The Management Team provides ongoing operational project management complementing the task-oriented activities of the VIVO Working Groups. The team supervises the work of in-kind and paid technical, outreach, and administrative staff doing VIVO-related work.
The Management Team meets biweekly, via webex (click here to access to these meetings) .
The Management Team operates by consensus following Apache Foundation conventions (http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html). Any significant disagreements among Management Team members are referred to the Steering Group (mgmt@vivoweb.org)
