Some alignment UAC charge in bylaws. Strawdog process for discussion:

1. member contacts Program Manager w/ concern(s) about development or service

 2. member contacts UAC about concern

3. UAC brings all member concerns reported in a given month to TAC / UAC coordinating committee for discussion

4. UAC includes brief list of issues reported in given quarter in each Governance Board report w/ status (e.g. resolved, in progress, unresolved etc.)
