“I myself am very open to a compromise on forking. The DPLA could agree to do the fork in X number of months and meanwhile be more open about its activities, especially in regard to the Steering Committee and other gatherings, both the in-person and virtual varieties.
“The end result? A public system focused on serving the needs of society at large (especially in regard to matters like K-12 and access in all senses of the word). And an academic side focused on campus needs, including high-level research. Of course, the forking would happen with extensive cooperation between publibs and and academics—including overlapping boards, content exchanges, consolidated discovery, and universal accessibility for both systems.”
