This Special ALA Council Meeting will finish what they started at the Special Council meeting on August 27th that I explained in my previous message. Specifically (amongst other actions), it will finalize the motion to eliminate all round table elected governance structures except president/chair, treasurer, secretary, and round table councilor. This means the end of the SRRT Action Council. Current elected members will serve out their terms but there will be no more elections for Action Council members at-large.
I note that there has been no publicity for this meeting. I only found it by searching the ALA Council Connect site. It is being done as fast as possible without member discussion, and just after the holiday weekend when people are distracted and enjoying the holiday.
