2. Samvera Partner meeting - fall 2018

   1. Should we attach a Partner meeting to Connect 2018 at the University of Utah (8-11 October)?

      1. Discussion and feedback from email responses: Brian, Richard & Utah colleagues had a call to determine when a Partner meeting could fit in the schedule. About 6 responses so far: yes, we should have a partner meeting, but no agreement on when. Still up in the air. We need to make that decision today. 

   2. ...and, if so, when?  

      1. Decision needed urgently so that arrangements can be made for rooming and hotel block dates. Could have the meeting the Sunday before the Connect meeting or close Connect at the end of Thursday and have the Partner meeting on Friday. Or we could formally finish Connect at Thursday lunchtime and have the Partner meeting Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. Richard suggests from experience that people head for the airport at lunchtime on the last day. On Sunday, the Utah Library would be closed, so there would be a cost to open it for a Partner meeting. 

      2. Discussion: Karen Cariani, Dan Coughlin, RIck Johnson agree with Richard's suggestion. Simeon Warner asked if Connect was fixed; could the Partner meeting occur on Thursday and shift Connect? Utah has flexibility that week. Karen Cariani: Splitting Partner meeting between two days can decrease productivity; could we concentrate into Thursday afte

   3. Note from RG:  I've taken the liberty of inviting Brian McBride from the University of Utah to join this discussion in order that any questions about local facilities etc can be answered immediately.  I've also moved this item to the top of the agenda so that he does not need to sit through the Governance discussion!  Hope that's OK...

   
   

3. Check-in on Governance Working Group (Ryan Steans, Mark Bussey)

   Wiki page with charter, notes from each meeting, etc.
