The team members will be appointed by the I-Share User Group (IUG) from a pool of volunteers and/or nominees. A rotation system will be established so that approximately a third of the team membership is appointed each year. In the case of mid-term vacancies, the IUG will appoint new team members to fill the remaining portion of the term.
Expected reporting frequency: The team chair will submit a written report of team’s activities to the chair of IUG at the end of the fiscal year (June 30). Additional updates on activities may be requested by IUG throughout the year.
Staff or Board liaisons: One CARLI Office staff representative will serve as the liaison. IUG will appoint a liaison to the team. The IUG Liaison to the team will report on team plans and activities at the IUG meetings. The Liaison will report back to the team on plans and activities discussed at IUG.
Tasks required on completion of work: The chair will forward all documents to IUG for review and approval.
