GODORT Legislation II / GIS

06.23.2007, 1:30 - 3:30

(1:30 - 2:00pm missed some content here)

 

  • ALA Emerging Leaders, Advocacy, GIS, group of 10 or less
  • draft resolutions (handout)
    • GPO Appropriations resolution
      • last "resolved" total = $182 million
      • more discussion of various points...
      • will work on more wordsmithing outside of this meeting
    • Resolution on Redundant Sites and E-Government
      • discussion of "mirror site" versus "redunant system"
      • may need to talk to someone in LITA about the particular definition of each term
      • may need to additionally stress geographic dispersion of mirror servers in case of disaster
        • "geographically dispersed" often defined as at least 600 miles apart
  • CRS resolution discussion
    • should there be a resolution, or a letter?
    • some concern that there needs to be some kind of action in answer to the pending legislation
    • concern with the bill's proposed 30-day wait on CRS report releases
      • should we frame that we don't support the 30-day wait period?
      • it's not a simple issue--various kinds of reports and levels of release within Congress; probably can't use the same criteria for releasing all of them
      • immediate availability is not likely and insistence on it might weaken the legislation
    • waiting period is better than no access
      • therefore, no reference to it should be made in the resolution or letter
    • vote: in favor of a letter (not a resolution)
      • Valerie Glenn will work on it this evening
    • go through the NAN? generally agreed a good idea
  • memorial resolution for Ridley
    • discussion about ALA's arrangements vs. GODORT's resolution
    • resolution discussion (wording, etc.)
  • open access to federally funded research resolution?
    • original idea to include CRS, but general consensus to keep these separate
    • national institute of health public access policy (put in senate bill; likely to be put in house)
    • re-introduction of FRPAA
    • (handouts)
    • does there need to be a resolution when there is already a general policy in place (as represented in handouts)?
    • we don't need to create a resolution for everything that we want to take action on
    • GIS thinks there's already a resolution on FRPAA
  • open government act; putting pressure on senators to agree (esp. Repub.s) and pass this
  • GPO letter open for public comment; closes this Friday (distributed in May)
    • all, unedited comments to be placed in binder and taken to JCP
    • in October-ish there will be a revised document for community to look at
      • may have a Council session specifically on this at FDLP in fall
    • these are first steps; there is still the question of implementation
  • possible meeting in November about shared letter and communication issues
    • communication within ALA is important to resolve this issue
