The meeting began at 2:00 PM Eastern/1:00 PM Central.
From last the previous week's call:
- Start with an SC&A needs survey, not a software survey; start defining core functional requirements.
- Look beyond existing software packages, but let the designers of ArchivesSpace, AtoM, ArcLight etc. know what we are doing.
- Follow and build on the RFP for the Hungarian National Library; contact other national libraries (e.g. the NLE).
- Invite other people to join the SC&A WG (e.g. Christine Wise at SOAS).
- Have an SC&A track at the WOLF-Con meeting at Duke University in May (May 7-10).

1. News and updates (if any). Sebastian Hammer provided additional information about the Hungarian NL RFP for a comprehensive national library solution. Index Data (Denmark and USA), Hermesz-Soft (Hungary), Arkivum (UK), EBSCO (USA), and @Cult (Italy) have submitted a joint proposal to the RFP. Hermesz-Soft has already developed an institutional repository (IR) module for the national library. Sebastian expects a decision later this month.

4. Action items and assignments. The group identified two action items: (1) start a core SC&A functionalities document on the SC&A Wiki, with a view to identifying features and functionalities that are not currently available in existing SC&A software packages; and (2) draw up a list of people who might be interested in joining the SC&A WG for discussion at the WG's next Zoom meeting. The list can include SMEs at non-FOLIO-member institutions or at national libraries (e.g. the National Library of Estonia).
5. Call schedule going forward. Weekly is fine. Aaron will try to keep the calls brief.
