* Delivery Council Charter & Meeting Schedule (30 min)
- maybe scale back to once a month; focus on admin/internal items, share information, vetting initiatives
- reaction: meet less frequently is good, more matching scope with how we actually work, can do more by email. Maybe every 3 weeks? But 3 week interval is a scheduling nightmare.
- We will meet on JUNE 9 and JUNE 23, July we will wait on.
* Review of Current/Upcoming Projects (15 min)
- Community Discussion Board
- Knowledge Based System (could be big)
- Online Conference Services for LSA (discovery wrapping up; probably outsourced with a role for IS in dept apps context)
- Oracle 9i middleware (why isn't this service?)
