4. Reports
   
   
   1. MARBI Report (J. Attig)
      
      MARBI has a light schedule this ALA. Some of the meetings have been cancelled.
      
      MARBI will discuss a proposal for definition of Field 024 (Other Standard Identifier) to the MARC 21 Authority Format. MARBI will also discuss changes to Field 352 (Digital Graphic Representation) in the MARC 21 Bibliographic Format.
      
      For the outcome of the MARBI discussions, see John’s report elsewhere in this issue.
      
      
   2. CC:DA (J. Attig for S. Bogdanski)
      
      CC:DA will discuss extending the use of conventional terminology beyond Chapter 9 to Chapters 6 and 7. The term "conventional terminology" is being replaced with the phrase "terms in common use." MLA is developing a list of terms for Chapter 6 in a separate effort. John asked the members present at the meeting about their opinions on several of these "terms in common use." One major problem with the concept of "terms in common use" is that they change quickly. The concept also leaves the cataloger unsure of how specific to get.
      
      CC:DA is also discussing relator terms again; this topic is being driven by metadata initiatives.
      
      CC:DA will also discuss a major reconceptualization of Chapter 9.
      
      An updated document on when to input a new record is being considered as a separate publication.
      
      An initiative to begin AACR3 is in progress.
      
      For the outcome of CC:DA discussions, see John’s report elsewhere in this issue.

   4. Authority Tools for Audiovisual and Music Catalogers: An Annotated List of Useful Resources <http://www.olacinc.org/capc/authtools.html>
      
      This document was revised in January. Robert Bratton is the new editor.
      
      
   5. OLAC/CAPC Task Force on Expert Panel (L. Bodenheimer)
      <http://www.olacinc.org/capc/expert.html>
      
      A discussion took place that confirmed that the membership appreciates the Q&A panel and has concerns about making the panel more formal than necessary.
      
      
5. Old Business
   
   There was no old business.
   
   
6. New Business
   
   John Attig suggested that CAPC consider forming a task force to study Nancy Olson’s discussion of added entries from non-human actors.
