https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u_ofqa-K_HugnKccgS870xDONHzu7Km4AuugjdHlHgo/edit

Carlos provided an overview of the Handbook.

The operational handbook is about 95% complete. The task force has worked on this for about a year and a half. Suggesting creating a pdf that is reviewed annually and lives in our Confluence space.

It’s also a living document that should be reviewed/updated regularly.

Sections needing review/additions/finalization: Communications, budget, floating collections, communities of practice.

Proposed timeline: finalize these last updates with task force before COLD in December, publish on Confluence after December meeting. Emily volunteered to do a close read to finalize.
