**Discussion**

* ORCID etc. follow-up
See Keith's mail to the list before the call. More requirements from our community is a likely outcome...

* LMSs etc.
In the context of the recent announcement of the Courseload eText offering from Internet2, the IMS LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) has surfaced.
http://www.imsglobal.org/lti/
This will be the topic of the next MACE theme call 13-Feb.

As announced, the Internet2-brokered eText offering will be integrated into Sakai and Moodle, but not natively federated (at least not initially). The actual deployment model is not yet clear...

* MACE membership
Seed corn list has been a positive thing ongoing. RL "Bob" proposed a new MACE member on the call, and feedback was positive.

[AI] (All) with feedback on the proposed new MACE member, contact RL "Bob"

* URN-MACE
Volunteers are being sought to join Keith and RL "Bob" in reviewing/approving submissions.

[AI] (All) interested in volunteering for URN-MACE review, contact RL "Bob" and Keith.
