 * 4) * Terms of Reference
 * 5) * Office bearers
 * 6) Progress report
 * 7) * OERu - 2018 Mid-year report
 * 8) * OERu learners and geographic spread
 * 9) Sustainability of the OERu network
 * 10) * Increased revenue for OERF (Increase number of contributing partners, FTE staff contributions, additional fiscal contributions)
 * 11) * Cost savings (Explicit adoption of OERu outputs to save cost at partner institutions)
 * 12) * Corporate sponsorship model
 * 13) * OERu point of difference
 * 14) * Diversity categories of partners - alternate ways to achieve partner status that contribute to strategic goals of the OERu
 * 15) * Review value proposition / benefit to partner institutions (Value of learner data)
 * 16) * Review strategic goals of the OERu
 * 17) Decision proposals
 * 18) * Establish OERu task force on partner engagement
 * 19) ** Who: Phil Ker (Otago Polytechnic), CEO volunteers plus Val Peachey (CSU), Alan Davis (Kwantlen Polytechnic University), Christine Bovis-Cnossen or Don Poirier (Thompson Rivers University) or nominees
 * 20) **Survey OERu partners about levels of engagement with OERu in their institutions, to find examples of good practice and to identify barriers (working group to action)
 * 21) **Develop explicit ROI for OERu, incorporating social good, financial, reputation and visibility, capability built in-house (working group to action)
 * 22) **Develop new staff orientation module for partner institutions to use - to build understanding and set expectations (working group to action)
 * 23) **Develop guidelines for partner institutions to show they value open education: measure it, rewards and recognition (working group to action)
 * 24) **Identify obstacles to institutions becoming partners, and consider how to engage with institutions which may not currently be in a position to become paid-up members - "soft" engagement (working group to action). Social good is not just direct delivery to learners but also through institutions that desperately need curriculum to deliver to learners.
 * 25) **Consider opportunity for in-kind vs cash payment of OERu membership fee (working group to action) - different forms of contribution eg staff time, or active engagement with target learners.
 * 26) * Develop and share institutional action plans for OERu implementation (Jim Taylor)
 * 27) **In light of the significant progress in developing the necessary foundations of the OERu innovation partnership, including
 * 28) **#published guidelines for transnational cross credit;
 * 29) **#current availability of micro courses;
 * 30) **#availability of a comprehensive Business Model Partner Canvas;
 * 31) **#ongoing initiatives on quality guidelines and innovation pilot projects;
 * 32) **#demonstrated cost-effectiveness, immediate availability and technological scalability of the OERu open source NGDLE
 * 33) ** commit to the development of institutional implementation plans that will optimise potential ROI appropriate to current institutional readiness and geographic context.
 * 34) **Sharing the insights gained from the development and implementation of such plans could well generate a much needed “Digital Learning Leadership Strategy”, which could make a significant contribution not only to achieving the goals of the OERu Strategic Plan (2018-2021) but also to “providing insurance against disruption” to individual institutions. It would also contribute to the ongoing relevance and sustainability of tertiary education.
 * 35) * Approve the OERu strategic plan 2018 - 2021
 * 36) ** Refine mission: Drive value into member organisations however it is defined (connecting good with value)
 * 37) ***How do you help institutions articulate the value they can access within OERu.
 * 38) **Overarching strategic goals (Curriculum: Professional development, Diploma / Associate degree in General Studies.)
 * 39) **Expand Goal 4: Achieve a fiscally sustainable and scalable OERu network by driving value for members.
 * 40) * Confirm OERu 2019 operational priorities (Exceeded objectives for soft launch - so what next?)
 * 41) ** Current capacity enables launch rate of 3 weeks for each micro-course (2 weeks for pre-launch audit plus 1 week to build automated email campaigns
 * 42) ** 60 micro-courses would require 180 FTE weeks.
 * 43) ** Prioritise and schedule the launch of the 1st year of study.
 * 44) * Implement recommendations for improving letter of invitation to join the OERu and associated recruitment collateral
 * 45) * Implement a LiDA community learning hub innovation pilot for OERu and other libraries
 * 46) * Continue implementation of OERu quality guidelines
 * 47) * Progress open pedagogy innovation pilots
 * 48) * '''Progress first year of study in sustainablility where the SDGs are explicitly mapped
 * 49) Risk register
 * 50) * Review draft risk register
