• discussed when this is needed
• proposal: to rotate PC meetings ona quarterly basis

Hygiene subgroup will meet next Wednesday again to discuss further steps

Feedback: 

• reduction of meeting time works fine - we can still have good discussions
• Community topics: page can be advertised and we can see whether the table is fine or needs addition
  • the PC columns will be highlighted as such

Report on discussion at MM SIG after last week's PC meeting and next steps

• Felix reports that MM would prefer to have Entity Management a subgroup or working group of MM
• example: ERM started as a subgroup of RM as well, so things can evolve
• the Community should have the option to get involved
• Laura is actively searching for people interested, no feedback so far
• Charlotte suggest to start a wiki page
• Laura: there is already a linked data wiki page - we should be careful to not confuse people
  • Linked Data Interest Group
  • Laura will reach out to Alvaro Lopez to help organise the pages in the wiki
• Felix: another observation is that there is no good information flow back from subgroups to MM SIG
  • a regular update would be needed
• there was the idea of an Inventory oversight committee
  • not clear what the scope is and how long this would need to exists
• Inventory and Quickmarc should stay in MM
  • but MM is open for other SIGs to provide input
• mod-search, everything related to MARC, SRS
  • some things were developed without SME input, so the SIG should check for gaps
• Data import and export: MM will need to coordinat efforts to stay up to date, no matter whether it will be own SIG or subgroup
  • Jennifer: for data export there is no active work; PC or MM could talk about whether a working group is needed
  • we should gather feedback from Data import members
  • Felix agrees
• Bulk edit manages data across FOLIO
• Jenn: for Data import there is another group formed, no pecific convener and no PO run working group
  • group by users
  • we need to understand what people get out of these groups
  • User support group has a slack channel and a wiki page: Data Import Lab Sessions
• in different other SIGs there are assistant POs - would that be a way to help MM SIG
