ACCTION ITEMS > CCCC 2017 business meeting
Danielle Nicole Devoss
Hello, all!
I just added to our shared Google Drive folder a doc with a list of action items from our business meeting on Wednesday.
I’ve also posted them in below, and shared this email with the larger Google Groups list.

*************************
ONGOING ACTION ITEMS
· Make sure we retain the 2:00-5:30pm Wednesday meeting time at upcoming CCCCs.
IMMEDIATE ACTION ITEMS
· See if junior chair nominees are willing to serve; create ballot and vote (nominations due/closed at noon on March 21; Wendy = yes; Alex = yes; Charlie = no).
· Jessica and Dànielle will draft a caucus meeting report for CCCC leadership.
· Jessica will draft a business meeting proposal for CCCC-IP 2018 and submit it to you all for consideration.
· Jessica will work with the incoming Junior Chair to establish action items and priorities for the coming year.
· Pursue a special issue of Kairos on IP issues > Danielle will draft a prospectus for a special issue (Ty, John, and Karen will take editorial lead, potentially; proposal DRAFTED, 3-16-17).
· Plan a featured panel for 2018: “Cultural Heritage, Ownership, Authorship, and Intellectual Property.” Current considered invitee: Adrianne Keene, co-sponsored by American Indian Caucus and Cultural Rhetorics Consortium (Malea Powell knows Adrienne Keene and is interested in potentially co-sponsoring; Danielle will follow up with Malea immediately after CCCC; Danielle emailed the chairs of the American Indian Caucus and Cultural Rhetorics Consortium about their thoughts and potential co-sponsorship, 3-16-17).
· Alex (anie...@odu.edu) has a call out for Media Commons on a special issue on DH and the archives (pieces are 400-600 words); running in April; email him if you want more info or are interested in contributing.
· Plan to nominate CCCC-IP representatives for Executive Committee immediately after CCCC 2017 (more is better!; Tim and Mike nominated Jeff Galin last year; consider diversity in terms of academic rank, interests; race, gender, geography, type of institution).
LONGER-TERM ACTION ITEMS
· Check with NCTE about what resources the standing group now has, and what best practices and venues exist (given that IP Committee no longer exists)
· Danielle will follow up with Steve Parks on SWR status
· Check out Ted Bergstrom’s work on economics of OA (https://econ.ucsb.edu/~tedb/).
· Work with/through our campus research offices to identify actions and issues related to IP that merit humanities attention.
· Figure out ways to document how we have offered value to NCTE/CCCC membership; key anchor is student IP and student work.
· Generate set of principles on IP (similar to the OWI principles); what is a resource we could build that could function similarly, but recognize legal and contextual nature of IP issues.
· Develop and propose panel presentations for other conferences for 2018 related to Kairos special issue (authors presenting on projects/manuscripts; Computers and Writing).
