   1. No comments on any of the collaboration documents at this time.
      
      

3. accessCondition Individual Institution Mappings

   1. BPL
      1. Attempt to follow guidelines from Hydra Rights Metadata Working Group ( Rights Metadata Recommendation)
      2. dc:rights for text string statements
      3. edm:rights for rights statement URIs (Creative Commons, rightsstatements.org etc.)
      4. may need to mint URIs for certain oft-used values, such as "Contact host institution for more information."
         
      5. dcterms:rightsHolder when rights holder can be identified
      6. mint rightsHolder object if no URI exists, use model from <mods:name>
   2. Emory
      1. Attempting to follow Europeana and DPLA guidelines
      2. Need to deal with embargoes, still working on this.
         1. Could potentially use pcdmrts:rightsOverride and pcdmrts:rightsOverrideExpiration, which are recommended by Hydra Rights Metadata Working Group.
         2. We should make sure to include embargo examples in documentation, but it may be difficult to put this into the conversion code.
   3. Indiana
      1. Have lots of legacy metadata will a wide variety of rights info; looking to clean up as they migrate, using only URIs if possible
      2. using edm:rights
   4. edm:rights seems like predominant choice
      1. will go with this for now
      2. further discussion possible if other institutions have other ideas
         
         
4. Collab issues voting document feedback (https://goo.gl/forms/ROMklm8isWH3rKzK2)
   1. Steven will send out this multi-item poll via email
   2. Voting will be open to larger Hydra community
   3. Recommended that links to relevant documentation be added to questions on accession number, extent, and spatial coordinates
