- AAFC and NRM MoU on SeqDB

- Fredrik invites Falko to comment on the document and adopt for MfN purposes
- SeqDB license issues will be solved as soon as everything is migrated to new SeqDB
- AAFC: genotyping use case => combine the DINA work
- How to organize technical feedback ?
- AAFC creates GitHub specifications repo for sequence data
- all partners can put their feature requests in the specs. repo
- DiSSCo and DINA organization
- Falko reports on details of the collaborations with DISSCo
- DiSSCo Technical Team would also prefer a legal entity for DINA
- Falko asks an external consultant in order to get to know more options and details regarding the effort of estabilshing a non-for-profit organization, taxation and jurisdiction
- Report from DINA TC
- data modelling is in good progress
- AAFC & MfN have regular meetings on Information Packes & components
- action items:
- engage with TDWG
- e.g. TaxonWorks for complex taxonomy module
- TODO @James: reach out to Matt Yoder as follow up meeting of the TDWG symposium
- a separate meeting between TC and ISC and Matt would be good
- taxonomy module is a risk => we need to close this gap!
- data modelling is in good progress
- DINA communication plan
- use a TDWG GitHub repo for continuing the discussion on Collection Management Systems under a DINA umbrella
- in case there are many interested institutions and strategic discussions extended ISC meetings ("Coffee breaks with DINA" / "DINA fika") could be offered
- Falko will promote DINA contacts in his TDWG session
- James suggests to promote that the DINA data model is an innovative approach in DINA, because it focusses on the "new world reality"

- Satpal demonstrates the release infrastructure at AAFC
- Object store
- managed attributes => users can add additional fields ad hoc
- Agents Module
- lot of developers => need to be kept busy, so the intellectual preparation / modelling is now a bottle neck. But everyone is optimistic, that the outcome of the A-Team can be shifted to the dev team soon
- Satpal demonstrates the release infrastructure at AAFC
- MfN
- new DNA data curator + developer @MfN => collect requirements and install SeqDB at MfN
- new data manager => will be in charge with geo-server, geo-referencing, controlled vocabularies etc.
- new developer team is already busy, but kind of same situation like in AAFC => bottle neck to keep developers busy reagrding DINA
- NRM
- Living Atlasses position and/or DINA / CMS position to be filed
- too early to estimate the resources for DINA
- vision of combining Living Atlasses activities with CMS activities
- bioinformatics initiative => person will work with seqDB / DINA sequences
- this person will share use cases in GitHub
- Living Atlasses position and/or DINA / CMS position to be filed
- AAFC
- Any other business
- Try to reach out to Taxon Works
