Review of the CMWG Report

• What are the gaps in the report?

  • Lacks differentiation of vendors and non-profit institutions

  • There are no dollar amounts for regular monetary contributions – without dollar amounts it becomes difficult to figure out how to move forward

  • How do partners report back about in-kind contributions

  • How do we account for institutional differences in FTE numbers

  • Are operational budgets the best way to do banding?

    • Number of FTE working on Samvera and how they dedicate time (Local Sprints, Community Sprints, IG/WG work)

  • What about consortial memberships? University systems, community colleges, etc.
    
    
    
    

• What is our biggest barrier to developing a contribution model?

  • $7k just to keep an employee (1 FTE = $210,000) see spreadsheet with numbers https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gX7gPd3QQ1sOSX5fWgCxP7SzaRcPH30TTvJKgOPUTZo/edit?ts=5c6d81e8#gid=2114267198

  • We can't just do in-kind contributions because we need to pay for the overhead of running the project

  • We don't know what steering spends (roughly) each year.
