Minutes

Forgot to record the first minutes of meeting so we start with the registration of MIME type for ALTO.

The board agreed to register ALTO as a MIME with IETF. He will adapt a similar IEFT draft for another MIME type for ALTO. Jukka agreed to review Jean Philippe's use of the English language as needed.

No discussion of the Glyphs change request because Joachim was meeting at his son's school.

An abbreviated discussion of the board's proposed use of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) for ALTO XML. Joachim reported by email the following wrt CC BY-SA 4.0 for ALTO XML:

I have verified the contractual topic regarding copyright for ALTO and to be safe we at CCS are clarifying with the 4 authors if they all agree to the change to CC BY-SA 4.0, as a former copyright statement was removed on handover to the Library of Congress as demanded. But I have no written agreement of all parties of METAe partnership available. So I propose to leave this topic pending till next call.

A (very) short review of collaboration with the Newspapers Interest Group of the IIIF. It requests that the ALTO board register a MIME type for ALTO.

Jean Philippe asks about a face-to-face meeting for the ALTO board in conjunction with a conference. Frederick mentioned several conferences; he will create a Doodle poll for board members to show their preferences for conference.
