UAC Updates

Reminder: We need sub-team Vice Leads! Let Rebecca know when vice leads have been decided

Monthly discussion schedule:

• November: User Documentation

• January: Member Engagement

• March: Testing

• April: Dev-Pri

• May: Usability

Workplan Updates:

• Many sub-teams have reached a point of “term regularization” with regard to responsibilities and activities.

• Community engagement through outreach on listservs, surveys, potential presentations at member forums continues to be priority for many sub-teams

• Use of Jira tags as a method of information communication is common; ensure that leadership transition documentation includes training and ownership of this space for each sub-team’s use case.

• Consider converting your sub-team’s workplan to the Workplan Template if you did not use it this year to ensure continuity across sub-teams on both Councils.
