A Policy for Group Management

Each group will appoint a group leader.

The responsibilities of the group leader include:

• establishing meeting times for the group, based on discussion with group members, and notifying all members of the group via email of the meeting time (James should be included in the mailing)
• submitting a cursory report of each meeting to the Project Coordinator, James, via email--the report should include the meeting attendance, topics discussed and accomplishments

 Each group will, at each group meeting, appoint one person to take notes. This includes jotting down ideas that people throw out, noting difficulties, results and conclusions, etc. This responsibility should be rotated among members of the group and may be assigned to the group leader. However, no one person should always be assigned this responsibility.

 The above requirement does not preclude others from taking notes.

 The group leader will NOT make the weekly reports during the lab meeting. This will be the responsibility of some group member other than the one who took the notes for that week's group meeting(s).

 Summary:

• assign a group leader
• rotating responsibility for taking group meeting notes
• someone other than the group leader and the note taker(s) will make the weekly report
