15 min | Follow up re; China Community issues | @Alexis Manheim | Need volunteers for time bound group that will help frame the issues and advise on next steps 2 volunteers to be part of that group so far: Paul Moeller and Jennifer Eustis this will be a limited time investment would be good to have other non-PC members Jennifer: volunteers from China Community are needed to run the meetings a lot of the issues of the China Community will be solved by upgrading to the latest release, so that would be the first advice: upgrade to current release Question: what is the goal: manage product side only or manage technical side as well? It will depend on this decision whether TC members should be part of the group

| Discussion of the State of FOLIO doc
| @Alexis Manheim
| The Community Council posted a draft State of FOLIO doc on slack earlier this week. Thoughts, feedback?
The PC also needs to review the 2023 Things that Could be Better About FOLIO for action items. Feedback on draft State of FOLIO The Product Council, under its charter, ‘manages’ the roadmap through compilation and distillation of all of these different development activities, while not directing the development resources. Whenever possible, the Product Council has compiled documents from organizations who are funding (and/or doing) development for FOLIO to support an informed roadmap for the community. The PC uses this information to support a Roadmap that needs updating with each release. Jennifer: what is the goal with this document? Who is the audience? Jennifer: has issues with how PC task is described; it is slightly confusing; is PC well represented? Alexis: the document is very long, depending on the audience that it is meant for Owen: reading was positive; reasinably good summary of state development happens through organisation’s funding and work by funding and contributing work institutions influence what is being developed document may not be too long for the complex content
Ian Walls in chat: Libraries are empowered to make FOLIO be what they need it to be... but they have to exercise that power through a commitment of resources Tod agrees to Owen Jesse: docuemnt can be a useful foundation Alexis: maybe restructure or add a table of contents - will make a comment Lucy Harrison in chat: Yeah there are several places where specific numbers are mentioned that will quickly be out of date Tod in chat: Having a data on the document is a very good thing!
s/data/date/ Jennifer: are there other ways to show the history? Owen: did not read this document to give milestones of history of FOLIO there was a page on FOLIO history on the website better definition of what the document is for is needed coming back to Alexis point: it is worth defining where the document should go - that would indicate whether it is too long
Lucy Harrison in chat: I need to run to another meeting but thank you fr letting me lurk! We are developing the website for OpenRS right now and grappling with some similar issues OpenRS We haven' tposted our governance doc yet since we're still working on that Alexis: when and how will the document be presented to the marketing team - if it is to go on the website Everyone is encouraged to read the document and make comments Alexis and Kristin will follow up with Mike about the way the PC is conveyed in the document
