President’s Report ………………………………………………..Cheryl Teare

            Decision on releasing Report of Helena Worthen (Bob B)

• Need to have closure to the project to accept the report and determine how we want to make it available to our UALE audience.
  • Releasing it doesn’t mean it is the final statement and end all official report from the sponsors
  • Can move further to address some of the concerns and possibly see if there are those that want to take it to another level
• Need a scholarly article to the LSJ based on the research
• Copies of interviews are available as well as the background info; file
• First vote to accept the report per recommendation of Bob
• What is in the report is what is consistent with what was asked for in the RFP and contract
• Per Al D: Does not meet expectation. Needs to better reflect UALE needs and views
• Suggestion to have another group come up with a different analyses.
• Suggestion to have a summary rather than the entire thing
• Board members want to have time to review
• Concern over the lack of releases; all interviews had opportunity to be given chance to use the information
• LSJ article would be based on the research
• Motion: Receive the report as submitted as recommended by the Committee
  • All research and property becomes the ownership of UALE
  • No opposition one abstention

2^nd question

Helena wants to write an article based on the research to submit an article to the LSJ

This is our property, she is not free to public anything using that data.

Paul: UALE EB give HW limited permission to use the data from the research she conducted on our behalf to draft an article to be submitted to the LSJ.  

Be sure that our intent that this doesn’t reflect UALE endorsement is clear

Bob will make clear that HW can go forward but that it should not be described as an endorsed piece by the body all findings and opinions are of the author

6 yes, 3, no, 4 absentions

Will discussion at a later meeting in August
