Responsible:  Mary, Vadim, and Natalia
Status: AK Network has been receiving monthly reports and acknowledges usefulness as a double-check.  Not to consider expanding to portable networks at this time but consider another permanent network.  Gillian and QA group will make contact with UU network regarding their strong motion data.  Email QAAC about feedback.

JUL2016­-003:  Develop a plan for how often new metrics or modified metrics will actually be applied to the entire archive. We don’t want to do this frequently so we need to have some idea or schedule. DMC staff will present a plan at next QAAC call.

Responsible:  Hersh and Mary
