§         The first task for the Chairs and Co-Chairs of the new committees is to re-draft the committee charges, which will be reviewed on an annual basis

§         Revising the drafts does include proposing subcommittees

§         By Wednesday, June 29, PSEC would like to announce the new committee members, and PSEC would like these committees launched by July 1st

§         Liaisons have an active role in the committees, but the committee chair is separate from the liaison

§         Each committee member will be a working member (the individual’s activities within the committee will count towards performance reviews and promotions)

§         PSEC would like to promote lateral communication:

§         all committee meetings are open (except those deemed Executive meetings)

§         meeting dates, times, and agendas should be posted to CU-LIB before they occur

§         minutes should be taken at the meetings and posted to the website (soon to be developed)

§         PLEASE use the following format for the subject line for each agenda and minute(s) coming to CU-LIB

·        committee name, agenda, date

·        committee name, minutes, date

§         The new committees will have lots of leeway in the way they conduct their business, however, PSEC would enjoy seeing:

§         variable meeting formats (public service forums, brown bags, etc.)

§         joint committee meetings

§         Task groups can be assigned, and the members do not have to be just public service people

§         The Committees will report directly to PSEC, and PSEC will refer some issues to the committees

§         The first year, some issues will need to be referred to PSEC for agreement

§         As the comfort with the committees grows, more leeway will be given to the committees
