Minutes from 9/11/97 Meeting

1. Introductions were made. Erik and Michael were joining us for the first time.

2. We reviewed the minutes from the last meeting and they were approved.

3. Draft Charge

We discussed membership on the committee and composition of the group. Nancy Peterson suggested that perhaps we needed two working groups to deal with the internal and external needs of the Web site.

We proceeded to discuss the nature of Sarah's position and determined that her role is as a resource person to work as a consultant and provide expertise to departments that are working on developing Web sites. Sarah will work with individuals and departments to set up work goals and provide overall direction, but individuals and departments will have to complete their work assignments prior to follow-up meetings with Sarah. We are still envisioning departments being the information providers.

Getting back to the composition of the group, it was determined that we would add a one year rotating staff position. This year the representative will be Nancy Mackenzie.

10:30 on every other Thursday will be our meeting time. The next meeting is October 9.

4. Report on Focus Groups

Kerry reported that she made a report to the Alumni Board and mentioned the focus group surveys. She is concerned that it may be difficult to get parents to participate on the focus groups, but has set aside 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 18^th for the groups. Each focus group will need a facilitator and an assistant. Dave and Terri volunteered to help. Terri will seek if we can get a student from the group that works for Sarah. Survey questions still need to be formed.

A meeting will be held next week to form questions.

5. Priorities

We briefly discussed the handouts with priorities and ran out of time. The issue of minutes for faculty meetings and posting them to the Web was raised. Joel was going to follow up and get more information.

Meeting adjourned at 11:35
