ALA Council

Hi all,
I've been looking at the draft agendas for Council I and Council II & I'd like to get your feedback about a minor (but important) set of agenda-order adjustments regarding the Forward Together Resolutions Working Group (FTRWG) action items:

At Council I: 

• Move to remove CD #8.6 (Council I Agenda) from the consent agenda ​
• Move to relocate  CD #46.1 Item #3 (Standing Committees) to  the Council II agenda after CD #46.1 Item #5 (Board of Directors)
  • Standing Committees are subordinate to the Board of Directors; the Board of Directors resolution would need to be approved before the subordinate entities could be considered -- an entity should not be created before the group to which it is proposed to report is created.
  • Related question: would it make sense to also relocate CD #46.1 Item #5 (Board of Directors) to Council I as the final agenda item? (replacing CD #46.1 Item #3) ?
• Then approve the agenda.

​At Council II: 

• Move to remove CD #8.7 (Council II Agenda) from the consent agenda 
• Move to relocate CD #46.1 Item #4 (ALA Council) to after CD #46.1 Item #6 (Assemblies)
  • This will result in the following order for the Council II FTRWG / CD #46.1 action item deliberations :
    • Item #5 (Board of Directors)
    • Item #3 (Standing Committees)
    • Item #6 (Assemblies)
    • Item #4 (Council)
  • Standing Committees & Assemblies are proposed to be subordinate to the Board of Directors; the Board of Directors resolution would need to be approved before the subordinate entities could be considered -- an entity should not be created before the group to which it is proposed to report is created.
• Then approve the agenda.

Thanks for your thoughts,
​​​​​​​

I agree that the Council agendas are likely going to need to be reviewed from consent, particularly as new resolutions come forward in these last days. I like the idea of putting the Core Values and Roundtables resolutions in Council I and then re-ordering the remaining resolutions for Council II, though I also imagine we may need to have some of our standing committee reports with action items moved to the front end of their agendas?
