NOTES:

The Council may create ad hoc sub-committees to study complex or temporary issues.  The Council may appoint members outside of the Council to these ad hoc sub-committees.

An attempt will be made to focus on one or two topics for several meetings and to tie topics to the board agenda when possible.

We will assign some work to small groups for subsequent meeting reports.

We will focus announcements on:  kudos, requests for assistance, up-coming events of general interest.  Minutes of the Council will be sent to MESA and to the Academic Affairs Council.
