With only a month before the conference, there is not much time left to
discuss the ARLIS restructuring proposals. It will not be possible to
cover all aspects of the recommendations in the short time available at
the membership meeting in Atlanta. The Assessment Task Force feels
strongly that the membership should have as much input as possible into
this process.
The report is available at:
http://www.arlisna.org/arlismembers/assessment/recommendations.pdf
To pique your interest, we are proposing that all DSRTs and discussion
groups be disbanded and reconstituted as more informal Interest Groups if
the members want to continue. We are also proposing that the Board be
reconfigured. These changes will require a vote of the membership.
Please take a look at the report before commenting! You can find
recommendations and justifications in these parts of the report:
DSRTs p. 4-8
Board Structure p. 8-10
Committees, p. 10-11
Liaisons, p. 11-12
User groups, p. 12
