====== Notes from call ======
  - Present: Hans-Joachim W-A., Dirk F., Cathy Constable, Anders N., Lee Allison, Leslie Hsu (notes), Jens (a little later due to GoToMeeting issues)
  - Hans-Joachim Wallrabe-Adams gave an introduction to how MARUM plans to use the IGSN
    - IODP Repository, the European part: IGSN has already been used in a project in the Baltic Sea, it will be entered into the existing information system
    - MARUM core repository - for the Geoscience Department of Bremen: gravity cores and multicores
    - Question from CC: Any idea what the other branches of IODP plan to do? (U.S., etc.) Answer: Now we are moving to a change in the structure of IODP, the American, Japanese, and European branches are separate, so we don't have more information about what the non-European parts of IODP plan.
  - IGSN e.V. General Assembly in December, Monday
    - MARUM cannot attend personally at the AGU meeting, but will attend by phone or internet
    - In addition to those listed above (Agenda section) Cathy will be there
  - Jens gave an update on the statutes
    - Small changes were viewed and approved by everyone, they will allow tax exempt status. 
    - There is a trail of the past versions on the wiki, but viewers will be brought to the latest version
  - Dirk asked: Is there any progress or plans on holding a workshop for the technical implementation of IGSN?
    - We had a discussion about it and decided that a small webcall (maybe through GFZ's Adobe Connect - which is more user friendly) should be held at least in the first quarter of 2014. It would be limited to those that we know want to implement IGSN infrastructure. We could invite people thinking of joining (e.g. UT Austin).
    - The webcast should be recorded so that it can be posted and viewed by others.
    - Invite Frank C. (sorry - LH lapse in note-taking)
  - Dirk asked if there was any progress on our discussions with the Smithsonian using the IGSN. 
    - Leslie said she did not have a detailed answer on that and would check with Kerstin.
  - There were no other comments and the call was closed. 

====== Action items ======
  - Set up IGSN Technical Implementation webinar
  - Send around members@ vs. group@ email lists and make sure people are on the correct list. (LH)
