#Rollover of funds between the ending Registry Project to the new funding. The Accounting folks at Cornell are getting very anxious about this--they want to make sure that decisions are made before I go on disability to ensure that Jon and I continue to get paychecks over the transition. Ergo, they need an okay from Lee on rolling over the funds and/or something that assures them that the funding is really coming on the extension. How can we do this, and also address some other issues with Lee, re: the NSDL metadata planning?  For the rollover issue, we need to get assurances from Lee that we can do the following:

Agenda & Notes, September 10, 2007

  1. Rollover of funds between the ending Registry Project to the new funding. The Accounting folks at Cornell are getting very anxious about this--they want to make sure that decisions are made before I go on disability to ensure that Jon and I continue to get paychecks over the transition. Ergo, they need an okay from Lee on rolling over the funds and/or something that assures them that the funding is really coming on the extension. How can we do this, and also address some other issues with Lee, re: the NSDL metadata planning? For the rollover issue, we need to get assurances from Lee that we can do the following:
    • Fund Jon to go to Amsterdam for the SWD WG meeting
    • Use leftover computer services money for new laptops
      • Stuart suggests firing off an email to Lee, assuming that everything is going okay with the work for the extension, given my need for paperwork before going on disability. Add a sentence of explanation for Jon's trip.
      • For the NSDL Metadata issues, Stuart would like to send Lee an email identifying some of the issues, given the proposal that didn't get funded. Stuart is basically operating on no funding (their stuff wasn't funded in this round), and needs to figure out what his role is in all this. He would like to approach Lee about the long term issue around how broken it is concerning metadata.
