Congrats and thank you to all that participated in this year’s online forum

Two recent resignations: Eden Orelove, Patrick Milhoan

At the turn of the term checklist and discussion

@Regina Carra @Suzanne Reller

Things to do by next meeting:

• Identify Vice Lead for next term

• Complete sub-team retrospective (add as separate page to wiki-link to June agenda)

• Tie up projects/make sure documents are saved to Confluence or Google Drive with proper permissions.

Calendar of events (in a nutshell):

June-end of term retrospectives due by June meeting, new cohort notified of acceptance to Council

July-typically a slow month for Councils. Subteams may or may not meet. Subteam leads should create new wiki space for term. Look out for Doodles! New Member Orientation.

August/September-Council and subteams begin meetings again. Begin drafting workplans and setting goals

October-Joint TAC/UAC meeting, present workplans
