• Metadata Standards: Reviewed and discussed the results of the community survey.

  • Prioritize tickets based on survey results: For example, survey results show that most are using spreadsheet importer/EAD 2.0. Less emphasis on MARC importer

  • Need in the community to maintain compatibility with EAD 2.0 for this transition period, but make sure we’re moving forward as EAD evolves.
