Questions raised in Steering about the complexity of operational documents for the committers group are good to keep in mind. Need to get substantial input and feedback from that group to make that effective. But there are existing practices to build on and use to jump start  formal documents. Hope that Pascal can help as a WG member and long time committer.

Bylaws

Process -- one or two members draft for the WG, drawing on listed examples where useful? Or start with a blank page and collaboratively generate the needs that should be addressed for DSpace? We have a lot of existing documentation (much outdated) to start with, as well as the pain points listed in the charge under Actions.

Maureen will start a brainstorming document. The WG can seed with headings, ideas, needs, links to existing documents between meetings. Maureen will also a start a template that can ultimately filled in from the brainstorming document.

Things to consider:

• Mission? Start with "open source" and other basics?
• Pointing out where we have inconsistencies in our existing documentation would be helpful.
• Discussions around the Lyrasis Board Meeting in Rio may be useful for areas to address and clarify.

MOU

Does this require a smaller group or whole WG review? Whole WG will review for next meeting. Maureen will post for group so that we can review and make suggestions ahead of next WG meeting in April. Ideally we should have recommendations for Leadership to review on May 15, and so to Steering before that, on May 8. We will at least discuss at Leadership, even if recommendations don't get done.
