• side question asked by Xiaoli: is there an evaluation of SILS groups' impact? Is that done annually/biannually?

  • this type of information could be inspiring

    • not just if the group works well, but if the outcome of the group was beneficial

  • this topic is currently being discussed in LG

  • input from Tom:

    • just completed an assessment

    • an assessment on a yearly basis may not show much change, so an evaluation of what and how we want to assess is currently taking place

    • SILS governance started off big with the goal of reducing in size over time, this has not been the case
