    The draft bylaws were presented and reviewed by Eileen. On a motion by Matthew and seconded by Rebekkah they were approved.


    Two exercises were conducted; one was to determine what success of the roundtable looks like. The second was to determine who would take on leading the projects to achieve that success.


    Two representatives from SRRT, Mike Marlin and Al Kagan visited with the group and asked us to help them with resolutions for ALA Council regarding petroleum divestment. Matthew spoke and asked for some time as SustainRT is just starting.
