Cooler</span> has been postponed for one week due to the Indigenous Peoples' Day holiday. We'll have the VWC on Monday, October 18 at 3pm ET/12pm PT. The agenda is still under development, but we'll be setting aside some time for learning about and discussing
site identifiers (<a href="https://ror.org/" title="https://ror.org/">ROR</a>, ISNI, and similar), and we will gather some feedback needed for the IMC's annual report to the Network. The site identifier discussion will kick off an effort to have sites acquire
and use these identifiers, so you may want to read up on those in advance of the VWC.<br>
