      3. What do you feel like your SIGs purpose is currently? Has it changed over time?
      4. Do you have product owners who regularly work with the SIG? Do you feel that your requirements are being successfully developed into FOLIO?
      5. How do you feel about the resources allocated in the development areas that are focused on?
      6. What are some of the challenges facing your SIG/subgroup? Are there ways in which you feel the SIG has been unable to accomplish it's mission?
      7. If you work on areas of development, do you feel like there are areas of development not resourced at all or significantly under-resourced?
      8. What has been successful with the SIG? What things contributed to that success?
      9. What could the Product Council do to help the SIG?
      10. Do you feel like the Roadmap accurately represents the work of your SIG (both desired and already accounted for)?
      11. How can we improve our communications with the SIG? Does the current monthly reporting work? Would have a dedicated PC meeting for your SIG be helpful?
      12. Is the SIG comfortable communicating with the PC and have a sense of when a PC conversation would be helpful?
      13. What functions should the PC be accomplishing and how would the SIGs like to have those need met?
