Decisions:
•    Accessibility Events – ComETS will continue to sponsor these.
•    All Committee and Subcommittee meetings, as well as ComETS sponsored events will look at the instructional calendar first to make sure nothing gets planned on religious holidays.
•    Krogman Event in December:
o    What is coming down the pipes w/ IT initiatives: what do we need to know w/ service and support for 2009-2010 (Examples – CRIS, Qualtrics, Class MyWebSpace, hosting services, etc.)
o    Paul O. to act as liason.
•    Annual Steering Committee Retreat:
o    Half-day retreat
•    Annual Membership Meeting:
o    Introducing SIGs, getting people comfortable with talking to each other.
o    “Bring a Friend” to extend ComETS membership.
o    Time: early February may be better to keep it out of the first week of instruction.
•    Steering Committee Membership
o    Send a thank-you for Eric Alborn’s service to committee
o    Including recognition for those that serve.
o    We don’t need to replace on steering committee, but would like to draw in Business and Education representatives on subcommittees for now.
o    Will review the size of the Steering Committee meeting on a regular basis.

Action Items:
•    Lisa – will look at ComETS documentation and include information on decisions to use the instructional calendar for planning meetings and events in order to avoid religious holidays.
•    Sarah and Ulrike to help Lisa w/ planning the retreat. Will post message on site to solicit ideas for topics, including the addition of regular meetings w/ Ron Kraemer, and evaluating how structure is working.
•    Membership/Community Subcommittee will work on Annual Membership Meeting and advise (Doug)
•    Recognition type things – Admin and Memb/Comm subcommittees will address.
•    Lisa to follow up with Eric on the committee decisions for currently adding members.
•    Lisa, Mike, & Paul to continue working on the MIU memo for ComETS members to see what was proposed, in order to get collaboration opportunities going for members – will send to steering committee for review before it goes out.
•    Mem/Comm Subcomm will work on definitions for working groups, communities, and SIGs
•    Lauren will work on trying to clarify guidelines for what makes a ComETS “sponsored” event to ease planning and potential confusion, and will present to steering committee.

Tabled:
•    Pandemic Planning – will readdress at each steering committee meeting to see if a need exists for more information/support.
•    Tabling strategic plan event until the Steering Comm meets w/ Ron Kraemer.
•    Work on Assessment SIG – will wait until after the Quality Matters event.
