 To 3.: Membership
-    - Sky Bristol gave an update on the membership process for the USGS. Kerstin Lehnert reported that the Executive Board suggested that a possible solution for national agencies to participate would be a cooperative agreement or contract with an academic members. This idea should be proposed to the other government agencies (GA, BGR), and feedback should be collected.
+    - Sky Bristol gave an update on the membership process for the USGS, which is still stalled due to legal issues regarding transfer of funds from USGS to a German legal entity.
-    - Kerstin Lehnert asked for feedback about the new 'Membership' page on the web site after the call. A process still needs to be established for handling and approving membership application, but there is no urgency now as no applications for membership have been received since the founding event.
+    - In order to solve problem of national agencies to join the IGSN e.V. as members, the Executive Board suggested that agencies might find it easier to participate via cooperative agreements or contracts with academic or other members. Representatives of government agencies (USGS, GA, BGR) should provide feedback if this would work for them.
-    - Discussion of possible affiliate members
+    - Kerstin Lehnert asked for feedback about the new 'Membership' page on the web site after the call.
-      - Elsevier - who is interested in using SESAR and the IGSNs
+    - A process and schedule still needs to be established for handling and approving membership applications, but there is no urgency at the moment as no applications for membership have been received since the founding event.
+    - Discussion of possible affiliate members that could be pursued to help promote the IGSN:
+      - Elsevier is interested in linking fro online journals to SESAR via IGSNs in articles. Kerstin should invite Elsevier to attend the EGU splinter meeting.
       - Open Geospatial Consortium
-      - Cathy Constable proposes inviting AGU as an affiliate member and then discussing with their editorial process, Cathy will find out since she served on their publications committee

+To 4.: Architecture
+    - Jens Klump presented a proposed change to the top-level registry metadata (see http://dokuwiki.gfz-potsdam.de/datawiki/doku.php?id=igsn:earth_science_metadata]. Members of the IGSNeV mailing list should review the metadata record after the call and provide comments within the next 2 weeks.
     - Changes to the top level metadata: Fields that are no longer there:
-      - timestamp (what is the purpose of it? if one can be defined, it can go back in)
+      - timestamp (what is the purpose of it? if one can be defined, it can go back in.)
       - status (it is unclear what that means)
-      - resource URI (because if the URL is transmitted in the registration process, there is a potential for a mismatch in the handle record and the metadata)
+      - resource URI (The resource URI is part of the handle. If the URL is transmitted in the registration process to the top-level registry, there is a potential for a mismatch in the handle record and the metadata.)

-      - SESAR samples can be private, the IGSN is registered but the metadata is not public
+      - Kerstin explained that SESAR samples can be private, the IGSN is registered but the metadata are not public.
-      - Cathy: it is a good idea to have the private option if there is a period after the metadata are uploaded that they are likely to be updated
+      - Cathy: it is a good idea to have the private option if it is likely that the metadata will be updated within a short period after registration.
       - Kerstin mentioned other reasons to keep metadata private (location of a valuable outcrop, etc.)
-      - These considerations may lie with the allocation agent though, and they don't push metadata to the top level registry yet if not ready
+      - These considerations may lie with the allocation agent though, and they don't push metadata to the top level registry yet if not ready.
       - Answer: the top level registry just registers what they get, because they refer back to the allocating agent
-    - Cathy suggests there is a two week comment period on the metadata profile, the comments should be written, a sub-group should look at the comments.
+    - Cathy suggests there is a two week comment period on the metadata profile, the comments should be written, a sub-group should look at the comments. Two subgroups were formed:
