      • Idea proposed at a past SILS OT SC meeting: create mini project team from SILS OT (2-3 people) whose members would share their results in next fiscal year

        • related to the question regarding term limits

        • other questions to guide this discussion:

          • if the work changed by having only experts on a team, how would it change?

          • how could non-expert representatives be used in other collective areas?

      • look at Alma/Primo VE Issues and Themes document

        • workstream improvement
