Courtney Michael Project Manager Inventory not a cataloging project. RJHC stuff is okay if it was used in a WRFA production. If they want to do their stuff, they have to apply on their own. This is a one time deal. We apply now they will not be doing it next year. Deadline 1/31/2011
 * Kick-start meeting**: station staff so they know what the project is and is willing to do it. Then a group conference call with Courtney. Just inventory and not managing assets. WGBH provides free training as part of the proposal. Probably a Webinar training and phone training.

Questions:
 * Has an account been established at CPB American Archive site?
 * Collection Survey: What is to be archived? Tape, Digital files, CDs . . . ? HAVE DENNIS PROVIDE NUMBERS AND CATEGORIES.
 * Official logo. One Dennis wants seen nationally and with proper resolution.
 * Dennis as Project Manager.
 * Estimate the number of audio and video assets in your collection: //You may approximate this number by counting tapes in shelves or boxes and then multiplying the number of shelves or boxes. We are looking for a reliable guesstimate.//
 * Does the station/AC have a decent scanner?
 * Indirect Cost Rate?
