Are there lessons to learn in considering how we monitor decisions across groups? (use tags? pull those tags/field into a column on the all decisions rollup)

This would be helpful for other campus local teams to use.
Links to the Confluence decision page
Idea: use tags to include each group included on the Stakeholders area. Operations Leads agreed it’s a great idea! Josephine will share it on SILS Chairs slack, and we could announce it at the SILS Chairs meeting (as part of the discussion of Decision pages)
How are new decisions added? The decisions are hand-selected by their Implementation Lead. Ask subgroups to decide which ones should go into the matrix.
All-decision Rollup : Could we add a Stakeholders column in this report? Would that be helpful for chairs to see all the decisions they are “tagged” as a stakeholder on.
RACI question: How do you use R/A for decisions? Comes into play with subgroups. R=doing the research, legwork, making a recommendation. A=decider.

SILS Service Manager (recurring)
Followup from Tuesday on how to publicize meetings so library staff are aware: Ex Libris Meetings page created. What other info is needed? Include meeting time?
This is a general list of all Ex Libris-hosted meetings. The SILS Training group will provide a fuller plan for sharing information about training meetings.
Formal communication plan needs to be part of the decision-making process and included on each decision page (Ben)
For decision pages, PMs to ensure the RACI section is filled out properly. (Talk to PPC about this) (Lena or Neil)

Add to meeting intro section: periodically answer questions in chat at pause points. Unmute if you have a burning question/comment.
Message in invite: “We are setting these meetings for every 2 weeks to allow for timely discussion of important topics, but we will cancel the meeting if we don’t have urgent items to discuss.
We will record these meetings. Attendance is optional.
We realize everyone is attending a lot of Zoom meetings and it can be exhausting, so review the agenda and decide if a topic is important for you to be there in person to join the conversation. “
Note-taking: Lena
Facilitating: Lena
Monitoring chat: Ben, Neil (If you ask a question for the speaker you are purposely not interrupting so wait until the end of the speakers talk/obvious pause)
Awareness of upcoming communications and anything needed

Ben, Adrian
Continue discussion from 6/23: Time off new wording suggested by Adrian: For extended absences (more than two-weeks long) such as family leave or reduced hours, talk to your group co-chairs about the possibility of choosing a substitute for attending meetings and completing group work.*Note: if edit accepted, Confluence has to be updated. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JuM1DE371arAFXSTY6bbMTBq9B0bvTo4ZxSuiwKUFNQ/edit
Suggested edits:
to reduce the time it takes to onboard substitutes, our expectation is that…” (feel free to edit)
more than three-weeks (since vacations may be 2 weeks)
