The Community should be aware that this list is not exhaustive and that Steering may be asked to take on additional tasks depending upon needs of the Community and Partners. Some of the detailed work listed below is delegated to others. Currently Samvera's Operations Adviser takes on much of the delegated work, but this will switch to Samvera's Community Manager when they are appointed. The Steering Group will then have the additional task of guiding their work.
