Hi Amy, I'm sorry if I am being dense but I am very unclear on the purpose of the March 2nd meeting and the use of this format.  Is this meeting and format intended to replace debate by the full Council during the formal Council meeting on the 10th?  Or is it intended more as a structured Council Forum?  Can you please clarify if we will have a full Council debate on the TAG proposal when we meet on the 10th?

Thank you,

Eileen

ALA Council Post New Message Looking for Councilors willing to speak at the March 2 TAG meeting Email a reply to the discussion Send a private message via email Feb 23, 2022 2:31 PM Amy Lappin Hello Councilors, We are still looking for Councilors willing to speak either for or against Council becoming an advisory body at the March 2, 2022 TAG meeting for Councilors. The forum on March 2 at 3:00 p..m. CT is in preparation for the March 10 Council meeting where a vote will be taken on the motion from the Transforming ALA Governance Task Force. As indicated in an email last week, the hour will begin with 6 speakers. Three people speaking for Council becoming an advisory body and three people speaking in favor of retaining Council as a policy-making body. Each speaker will be given 3 minutes to advocate for their position. We will alternate between advisory and policy making. After the 6 Councilors present their rationale, we will open the floor for questions and other discussion.  Several people have expressed a willingness to speak. We would love to hear from a few others. Please let me know if you would like to speak on March 2 and which body you will be supporting. You may respond to this post or email me directly at amy.lappin@leblibrary.com.
