    Working Documents:


    In the spirit of open dialog, I also wanted to provide you access to some "working documents of Steering" that will be helpful as we discuss the work that Steering has been doing in response to the Ad Hoc Committee reports on reorganization as well as virtual meetings as part of Old Business.  Please keep in mind these are just working documents they are not "official".


    Accessing documents:


    Our current Steering Committee has been using BOX as a way to share documents.   If your institution does not already have a BOX account subscription then you will need to create your own free BOX account by going to box.com


     Once you have done that then you can click on the links below and login using your BOX account.
