<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Among various valuable aspects, these can be useful (1) to help establish continuity and best practices for equity and effectiveness, and (2) to make transparent
each committee's policies and procedures going forward. No document can capture all details, but a sketch of what we do and how we do it, key dates or activities, etc. can go a long way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Word format, that will be much appreciated. After we assemble the set we can make them available in a staged process for faculty review.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

thank you, and please be in touch if you need help or more time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
