c. Vote of Governance Review Work Group recommendations. The possible changes to the clusters makes the election process that’s coming up confusing since the clusters make up could be changed. The committee decided it was okay to postpone the election until early next year. All Directors 2 meeting will be discussing governance revisions. Can the AC vote on the new governance structure since they are a representative group? Can we ask at the all directors meeting how they want this voted on? B. Miller moved approval to accept the recommendations for further investigations with a new governance work group and sunset this work group. A new group will move forward with researching these recommendations. . J. Christensen seconded. Vote: motion carried. Volunteers for the new work group: J. Christensen, C. Froistad, B. Stack, and J. Wavrunek will stay on from the former work group. J. Berg volunteered to be on the committee also. Marty will contact the other members to see if they would like to stay on as well. She will also work on getting more representations from the Technology and ILS Committees. Marty will send out cluster information, so members can review it before the new governance work group meeting.

d. Disband Cost Formula Work Group and non-ILS Lending Work Group. J. Chase moves to disband Cost Formula and Non-ILS lending Work Groups. C. Froistad seconded. Vote: motion carried. It was suggested that in the future, when work groups present their final report, they include a recommendation to sunset their committee.

e. Vote of 2013 System Plan. Marty reviewed the 2013 System Plan. It will go to the SCLS board for approval next Thursday, and then it will go on to DPI. New activities include: implement RDH changes, incorporate Overdrive with LINKcat via APIs and explore link data opportunities. “Library Help” replaced “AskAway.” Pre-populating LINKcat statistics for the Annual Reports was also added.
