Thanks, Geoff, for your note (comments below). I hope others will check in
at least to say hello, and I hope Chuck might say a word about the
Getty/museums version of this same conversation/conundrum.
>1. Agree on a chair. We might also agree on a system for managing notes.
>My vote is that we rotate note taking.
Proceedings of this email list will be (are, have been) archived at
http://lists.village.virginia.edu/lists_archive/adhoc/, but note-taking at
face-to-face meetings will be needed.
>2. Agree on a schedule. Harold Short had suggestions regarding some
>deadlines that would suit the ALLC, in particular the idea that we have
>something for the mid-academic year ALLC meeting.
Let's try to establish those deadlines now, or in the next week or so, and
include conference calls, face to face meetings, draft recommendations,
final recommendations.
>3. Have a series of conference calls. The chair would coordinate these. If
>the chair doesn't have experience running voice conferences then we could
>nominate someone else for the conferences.
We need to find a volunteer host for these calls. Does anyone have
institutional resources available for this sort of thing?
>4. Write a first draft of a proposal to get wider input.
The immediate audience for whatever we do in the next eight months will be
the executive bodies of the four organizations participating--but there
will certainly be others who will be interested.
>5. Identify the processes needed to get parts of the proposal through the
>respective organizations. Based on this we may need to meet and we can
>allocate responsibilities to members of the adhoc group to take their
>sections through their organizations. This will take some careful choreography.
I think instead we should, at least initially, concentrate on what are the
issues to be addressed, and divvy those up---publications, conferences,
business and legal services, member services.....others?
>7. Hopefully it all comes together in Georgia at the next ACH/ALLC.
Actually, our first deadline will be the May TEI Board meeting....

Indeed, please.
