| proposed stakeholder sign off approving new form ARKs (ark: vs ark:/) | all |
-
approach option 1: previous letter of consent
-
approach option 2: googleform (unpublished) for feedback
-
k: feedback from form can gauge attention; form seems easier to respond to than an email
-
c: agree, seems a clearer and more organized way to give feedback; even if they don't respond, it gives them a choice; a better title might be "Upcoming changes from Classic to Modern ARKs"
-
j: ways to learn about the changes? 1. email to arks-forum (french, spanish/portuguese), 2. individual emails to all the NAAN holders, 3. newsletter
-
c: mailchimp for bulk emails?
-
k: link for advanced implementers should be added to the form
-
c: form should be main place (clearinghouse?) for all links
-
k: yes, the email should be shorter to get people to the heart of the info in the form
-
j: which fields should be required?
-
k: don't require NAAN because it might discourage legit NAAN holder who doesn't want to bother looking it up; minimize roadblocks
-
j: are the form questions complete enough?
-
all: yes
-
c: I'd be happy to do final review
- jk: revise form, ask ARKA WG members to review, and to fill it out themselves as a trial
