Reporting Documentation Subgroup needs new leader
The documentation team needs a new leader. This is generally one meeting a month with the FOLIO-wide Documentation Working Group, plus additional time coordinating with the Reporting SIG subgroup members. (The documentation is at a relatively stable state now, with minor updates needed for each new FOLIO release.)
The Reporting SIG is always on the look-out for new query developers. Please let us know if you are interested in doing query development or if there are others at your institution who might be a good fit.

Additional Context
The Reporting SIG has representation on the Documentation Working Group, which is building end-user documentation for https://docs.folio.org/docs/ (mostly linking to existing documentation over on GitHub)
External Statistics Working Group
no updates currently
new organizational/tracking scheme for JIRA, with pointers to queries in folio-analytics repository
external statistics reports (e.g., ACRL) typically require running queries from different functional reporting areas
these reports will be captured in JIRA under one UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issue, then the descriptions will point to each of the queries required to run them on the folio-analytics repository
institutions will need to rank each of these 8 new UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issues
each reporting development team will take responsibility for the queries in their area for the external statistics clusters
