End of Term Notes

Term Transition Doldrums

Term transition is the period after our last official meeting and before the next one. That “next meeting” can be in July, but more often it is in August. Council activities slow but do not stop during this period, and one point in particular is that there is usually a quarterly report due in this transitional time. That means that just when you thought you could go on vacation, someone will reach out to you to contribute to that last quarterly report. Please keep that one last obligation in mind.

Another thing that happens in this period is the assignment of new members. Leads will receive word about these assignments; your immediate obligation is to make yourself available for any questions from those new members prior to the next Councils Orientation (July).

What happens next?

1. You all get a break!

2. Subteam leads contribute to one last quarterly report for this term

3. Rachel will be in touch to let new team leads know about new member assignments.

4. The next term’s workplan is due in September. You can decide to start work in July or August as long as you keep that deadline in mind.

Next Term

It’s never too early to start thinking about next term! Hoo-ray!

Incoming Leads in particular may want to review Yearly Timeline of Council Activities and

Guidelines for ArchivesSpace Council Sub-Teams

Consider keeping the same meeting times next term, since that slot is already taken up in your current schedule and it would only be new members that you’d need to poll for availability.
