Team Charter

Discuss any recommended changes and approve

10 min.

All

Prior to meeting: Everyone review and if you have any insights add a comment to the document or message the slack/send an email

How soon should the meeting agenda be distributed?
-- If any decision has to be made at the meeting, members should know it in advance.

How do we add and manage action items?
-- Chair/Vice-chair review the Task list and follow up as needed.
-- When an item is assigned to everyone, all member names should be added instead of “everyone.”

Remove “Production is not the same as implementation” (under What are out expectations…)--done
Meeting recording availability: remove “120 days” as it depends on the chair’s campus policy--done

@Catherine Busselen will create a Team in Confluence

Work Plan

Begin review and prioritization for 2025-2026

10 min.

All

Can anything be marked as DONE?

Is anything missing? Should anything from agenda parking lot be added to workplan?

Should anything be dropped/put on hold?

What are our priorities for this year? Expected completion dates?

Linked data policy: already looking at some aspect of it (URIs in MARC records in the UC network Zone). The doc needs to be updated with information on OCLC’s new practice, etc.

 

Update norm/merge rules: keep “Quarterly” and “Ongoing”

Linked Data policy: we will keep track of this but leave the status as “Not started”

Keep “Coffee chat” on the list

@Catherine Busselen to update meeting agenda parking lot to align with workplan
