Structure of Future Meetings

@brandon dudley (Unlicensed)

The intent is for the meetings to be conversational. To that extent, it is important to share monthly committee updates via email. The goal is to spend the meeting time to discuss ULMS matters more strategically, beyond just day to day operations. The meetings could focus more on features worth evaluating or higher level ideas. The group is encouraged to take advantage of each individual’s unique role in the system, in order to identify strategic ideas to bring forward.
