| 15 min | Goals for the year | All | - Ashley: understand UAC and the Chair role better; identify a Vice Chair
- Max: Vice Chair Maggie and he are working out leadership timelines and refining charges/expectations for participants and teams; some of this follows up on discussions from the TAC retrospective. Two themes that came out of the retrospective: need for clearly defined goals and importance of positive affirmation when people are on a good path and/or doing good things
- It would be great to have as much as possible of this organizational work documented on the wiki and for the TAC and UAC Chairs to share/collaborate on this info. when useful
- Discussion: when a team does not seem to be making good progress/getting off the ground, how to determine the reason. Leadership? Lack of clear expectations? The team has outlived its purpose?
- There may need to be a better understanding - and some reevaluation - of what should be an ArchivesSpace program responsibility vs. a Council/community responsibility.
- When is the best time to evaluate whether some teams are no longer needed or their functions reenvisioned (would be hard to do at the beginning of a new term, for example)?
- Discussion: Keeping in mind that all of this work is being done by volunteers, and that the Chairs themselves are volunteers, what are some things we can do to ensure that leaders and participants aren't overcommitted or taking on roles that they won't be able to fulfill?
- Checking in if you don't hear from someone, asking questions that help people acknowledge when they need help/can't continue
