Committee Meeting at Annual

Hi All, We have a scheduled meeting slot for 8:30-10AM on Sunday the 23rd in Conrad, Conservatory Ballroom C.  Please let me know if you plan to attend. We don't have any pressing business, because everyone should have submitted their responses to the IG renewal petitions to me before the meeting.   ...

RE: IG Renewal Petitions

Hi All, If you have not sent me comments on the IG renewals, please do so.  Our meeting at Annual is usually scheduled for early Sunday morning during the CMS all-committees meeting. Since the executive committee also meets at that time, our committee usually meets on the early side of the time slot.  ...

RE: IG Renewal Petitions

Hi Sara, There are no specific guidelines, but we're reviewing whether the IG is active, hosts appropriate programming/discussions, doesn't suffer from lack of membership or extremely low attendance at meetings, etc.  For example, a couple of years ago, an IG submitted a petition that made clear there ...

ALA Midwinter

Hi All, I'm sorry for the delay in writing about the upcoming ALA Midwinter meetings.  We have only received one of the three petitions for renewal from the interest groups, so I don't think there is enough business to warrant having an in-person meeting at Midwinter.  This is often the case with this ...

RE: Policy and Planning Committee Business for the Year

Thanks, Jan!  I'll add your name as liaison to the Collection Evaluation and Assessment IG. My experience with the committee has been similar to yours, and I agree that we can work well without meeting.  I plan to be at Midwinter and Annual, and will be happy to meet if any members would like to, but ...

RE: Policy and Planning Committee Business for the Year

We usually try to meet on Sunday during the CMS All-Committee Meeting slot.  That slot is typically scheduled from something like 8:30-11:30, with the Executive Committee usually meeting at 10:30. So I would pencil in 9-10 on Sunday morning. We will, of course, confirm any meeting plan closer to the ...

Policy and Planning Committee Business for the Year

Hi! I'm sorry for the long message, but I'm posting to get a start on our work on the ALCTS CMS Policy and Planning Committee, along with some explanation of our responsibilities, especially for those of you who are new to the committee. The committee has two main responsibilities, both concerning ...
