Yes, new reps will be seated at the July meeting as usual. However, we want to have voting
representation straightened out before then. The info you provided about Rich and you is
exactly what we need at this point.

Subject: RE: RAILS Consortia Committee - revised charge
Hi Jane,
Questions have come up at the SWAN Board meeting today.
The charge for the Consortia Committee notes the new reps are seated after July. The SWAN
Board will have an election with two reps and the new Consortia Committee will be
appointed after the election, so I will not have a final answer, as the SWAN Board would
prefer to have Board representation. The January 5, 2018 deadline requested confused them.
In case we just need the names of SWAN representatives: Rich Wolff will the rep, Aaron
will be the alternate.

Subject: RAILS Consortia Committee - revised charge
Consortia Committee members,
Thank you for your input during the discussion about the Consortia Committee charge at our
October 16 meeting. The RAILS Board discussed RAILS committee structure and charges at its
October 27 meeting and, at its meeting on November 17, approved a revised charge for the
Consortia Committee and a charge for the new Resource Sharing Committee.
Both charges are attached and posted on the RAILS website at
https://www.railslibraries.info/board/committees. In particular, please note the following
changes to the Consortia Committee charge:
* Bullet points/topics related to library resource sharing in general rather than
consortial issues specifically have been moved to the new Resource Sharing Committee
charge.
* Each consortium may still designate up to two representatives, but only one is a
voting representative. The second representative will serve as an alternate who can vote
in the absence of the voting representative. Alternates are encouraged to attend all
meetings. Appointment of representatives for successive terms is strongly encouraged to
provide more continuity.
* The quorum has been defined as the majority of the voting members.
If your consortium has had two representatives or two representatives plus an alternate,
please let me know by Friday, January 5, 2018 who will serve as your one voting
representative and as your one alternate. To ensure OMA compliance, please respond to me
directly; do not Reply All.
Remember that our next meeting is on January 22, 2018 at 9:30 a.m. - a week later than
usual to avoid Martin Luther King Day.
