During the first week of May, the ICA-AtoM project held its first Steering Committee meeting at the Dutch Archiefschool in Amsterdam. In attendance were:
• David Leitch, (incoming) ICA Secretary-General
• Perrine Cannavagio, ICA Deputy Secretary-General
• George MacKenzie, Keeper of the Records of Scotland
• Abdullah El Reyes, Director, United Arab Emirates Center for Documentation & Research
• Fareed Hassan Al Marzouqi, Director of Support Services, United Arab Emirates Center for Documentation & Research
• David McGlennon, Director of Strategic Planning, United Arab Emirates Center for Documentation & Research
• Peter Bruce, Chief Technology Officer, Library and Archives of Canada
• Peter Horsman, Director of Research, Dutch Institute of Archival Education & Research (Archiefschool)
• Peter Van Garderen, Software Release Manager, ICA-AtoM Project (Artefactual Sytems)
We reviewed the ICA-AtoM feature roadmap for the 1.0 beta release due in July 2008 and the stable 1.2 release due in June 2009. We discussed the preparations for the ICA-AtoM sessions at the upcoming ICA Congress in Kuala Lumpur, including the preparation of a demo CD to be made available to all attendees. The Steering Committee also discussed copyright, license, trademarks and the project's governance structure. We prepared a draft organizational chart (see attached). This chart, along with the membership of the ICA-AtoM Steering Committee, will be finalized at the Steering Committee's next meeting in Kuala Lumpur.
