MSCOD Position Papers

Staff member David Fenley provided the group with a brief background on the MSCOD position papers. The position papers were sent out to committee members to review and provide individual input on the suggested updates for the papers. Since the time that the papers were sent out, the Executive Committee has made a decision to change the structure of the existing position papers; the older versions will be updated and converted into a historical document. The older version will be updated and named the MSCOD Informational Series. The committee will be charged with the duties to update the now named Informational Series. Additionally the committees will write the new position papers that cover new and emerging topics. The group discussed the existing versions, and their plans to submit content to staff. Plans were made to review the papers and update them as the Informational series. Secondly the group will work on the MSCOD position Papers that will cover new and emerging topics as a group. The group discussed ideas on the formatting of the Information Series including suggestions of summarizing all of the documents to have a consistent structure or templated.
