Inconsistent Timezone Format | 2023 | Timezone format is not consistent across the tables in FOLIO, which impacts LDP and Metadb. Nassib confirmed that he does not change timezone settings as part of the ETL with the LDP/Metadb software, so whatever is in FOLIO is what we get in LDP/Metadb. RFC-3339 sitting with TC about always representing times as an ISO date format https://github.com/folio-org/rfcs/pull/13. Issue is closed, but this does not mean the issue is resolved. A new feature in Metadb allows you to modify the data format of a given table for your institution's Metadb database. | Unresolved in FOLIO, but there is a new workaround available in Metadb | Tod Olson |

| Resolved; Not yet deprecated from the data model, but you cannot enter new data into the UI; it will be deprecated in Ramsons | Scott |
New Donor Field created | 1/8/24 | A new donor field will be created in Quesnalia, but links to holdings and items will not be available yet. The new donor field will be controlled by Organizations.
