Summary
This document describes a possible CLO organizational structure that will account for the new roles and responsibilities introduced by Page 1+. Existing CLO steering and standing committees are included to help situate Page 1+ within the overall picture of CLO. Updated definitions of committees and working groups are also suggested as a means of simplifying CLO’s organizational structure.

DefinitionsOversight bodiesprovide strategic direction and meet less frequently. Committeesprovide operational direction over areas that require long-term and consistent guidance. Committees meet more regularly, report to oversight bodies, and assign working group activities. Working Groups provide operational direction as an ad hock group formed around a single initiative with a project charter including objectives, deliverables and a timeline. Working groups report to committees and are only active for the duration of the project. |

One meeting will be held in the end of June (before vacations start) for pre-planning and brainstorming new initiatives, project proposals, and early budget estimates. This meeting will fall closely behind ELUNA where new product releases and enhancements will be announced to allow the group a chance to hear a report on ELUNA and new developments.
A second meeting will be held the last week of September/early October (before Thanksgiving) to finalize the Page 1+ annual strategy with budget details, confirmed initiatives and project plans including identified working groups, objectives, deliverables and timelines.
A third meeting will be held in January to celebrate the work of Page 1+ libraries, staff and partners.
