1.	Minutes of Previous Meeting:  Accepted.


2.	Business Arising:

Discussion of Service Agreement Distribution Cost - Richard reported the
committee's comments to Mark Haslett.  Key points that arose in his
discussion with Mark include:
* TDR governance is still being discussed
* A TDR steering group will likely be formed (the TDR advisory group would
report to the steering group)
* The Library will find the money TDR needs to get through the first year;
however, it is not clear where the money to cover continuing costs will come
from



New web page design - Susan reported she had emailed this to Mark Haslett
and will forward to the EDS committee to look at.
CFI Update - Shabiran noted both CFI and SSHRC grants for Sociology have
been submitted.


3.	TDR Newsletter:

Susan noted the distribution has not begun yet.  She is working with Val
Huggan on refining the list. It was agreed that a covering letter from the
EDS Committee should accompany the newsletter.  The DLI brochure will also
be included.
There was discussion about how future mailouts might be handled and the
possibility of distributing the newsletter electronically or with a Web only
version.  This will be discussed further at a future meeting.

4.	EDS Advisory Group Meeting

The committee agreed that the EDS Advisory Group should meet; however, a new
date will have to be set.  Reading Week is too soon since not all contacts
have been made.  Confirmation is still needed from several Departments in
order to update the membership list.  There is also a need to determine how
to target those groups who did not originally respond.  Richard noted the
importance of informing the liaison librarians of the people in their
Departments who are involved with this.
Proposed agenda items for the meeting:
* CFI proposal (update)
* TDR governance
* TDR newsletter - feedback on it (frequency, content, mode of delivery)
* Local support  (advice on seeking funds, etc.)
* Data sets faculty would like that are not currently available

Optional meeting dates to be offered:
Wed., April 5 - p.m.
Tues. April 11 - a.m.
Wed. April 12 - p. m.
Thurs. April 13 - either a.m. or p.m.

The meeting will be held in Davis if available.  Optional times would be
9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. or 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.  It was agreed the committee
will act on the list of names received by February 25.  Action:  On February
28, Richard will begin consultation with faculty members to establish a
meeting date and time.  He will also book the room.

5.	Survey of Committees and Membership

EDS group and a list of
members -  this information will be included in the survey of committees
and
membership.
