Note re. possibility of govt. shutdown that would mean we could not meet at LC. Contact Christopher and Simeon if you have possible use of a suitable facility
Draft agenda:
Chris has made a first draft, based on ideas and goals previously generated as aims for the meeting. Allotted longer sessions to topics that likely need deeper discussion. Each goal to be noted in each section, and linked to any reading.
Do we still ned a discussion on Governance? Discussion may still be needed on whether governance is working. Document currently formalizes the status quo rather than creating change.
Research brief on open-source and governance ins in preparation. All documents will be linked once the agenda is finalized.
Section on financial planning and budget could be moved to the second day to be part of planning, but an element of this is sustainability, which links to membership.
Element of sustainbility also relates to cancellation of subscriptions by federal agencies, and how that impacts reearch vendors.
Kirstin suggests first day should be focussed on where FOLIO is going and the bigger, long-term picture.
There is a lot to get through for a day and a half: which of the goals can be dropped?
Market pressures etc in the light of DGE and Clarivate are also a relevant topic for the current goals.
Should be able to articulate current state and future state and how to close the gap.
There is a lot to cover: can folks share their thoughts on some topics before the meeting? This will help to make decisions in the meeting rather than debating.
How will this be refined? Is it for the chairs/officers of the councils to confirm?
Important to discuss where we want to go, before developing the plan of how we get there.
Proposal from Kirstin to discuss on Monday (March 3rd) to clear some of these: Simeon will post to Slack to confirm.
