2. Committee charge (to tweak as needed, share with Danianne for feedback)

   1. Current: Provide leadership to CUL in its commitment to effective instruction and comprehensive information literacy, through providing professional development opportunities, planning for allied initiatives, and advising CUL on strategies and goals.
      b. Is this accurate and appropriate? What is missing?Question: What are 'allied initiatives'? Much uncertainty. 

   2. Other committee charges can be viewed at https://confluence.cornell.edu/display/culpsec 

   3. Agreed to send proposed changes to Danianne prior to engaging in much revision ourselves 

3. Coordinated call (current memberships): 

   1. Confirm unit reps for next year by May Instruction meeting (exception BEE)

   2. At-large terms expiring: 3/5 beginning in 2017

4. Orientation

5. Subteam updates

6. 1. Many existing groupings no longer accurate/applicable
   2. Specific responsibilities of at-large members, incoming chair and current chair positions
   3. Units should discuss this within themselves
   4. PSEC Instruction's own coordinated call request: At most, one new member. Usually have more applicants than spaces. 
   5. At same time: PSEC Instruction membership quite large and not necessarily enough 'work' to require it

7. Orientation

   1. Some changes at Cornell level announced regarding orientation day; Danianne gathered group to discuss this. No more Barton Hall move-in day event. Trying to spread events over 2 days. Some of that work to be done at dorms and in other locations (TBD). Need to get dates on central calendar by 2 weeks from now; Tobi Hines working on Communications fellowship with some recommendations. 
   2. Also: Open House being proposed by orgs normally present at Barton Hall orientation event. Friday and Saturday events. Generally agreed-to, but will take some planning for the Saturday. Replace some of the functionality of the Barton Hall event. Zsuzsa agreed that we could indeed do this. 
   3. Do traditional workshop calendar, but move back one week so as not to counterprogram against this.
   4. Attendance at workshops much higher before classes start, so goal is to get them in as soon as possible. Goal = form a smaller group to work through some of these details. May 16 = deadline for central schedule events.

8. Subteam updates

   1. ADA compliance webinar today
