> Article V, Section 2

> Section 2a: Organizational Committees may be convened by the Coordinating
> Ring in response to specific organizational needs or on an ad hoc
> basis by the
> officers with later approval by the Coordinating Ring. These
> committees and
> their officers exist to conduct research, prepare projects, or review
> specific activities of interest to the general membership, and
> any of their
> reports or recommendations will be subject to a general review
> prior to taking effect.

> Section 2b: Online Course and Resource Evaluation Workgroups
> (OCREW) will be
> convened by the Coordinating Ring in response to specific requests from
> interested membership to review and assist individual members and
> organizations in the preparation, documentation, reporting,
> evaluation, and
> potential accreditation of online courses and related materials.
> All OCREWs

> Section 2C: Members may join one or both of two types of sub-groups:
> Organizational Committees and Online Course and Resource Evaluation
> Workgroups. Except for Elected Officers c) to e), Chairs of
> Organizational
> Committees and Representatives of Online Course and Resource Evaluation
> Workgroups are elected by their own members.

> Here we could also distinguish between committees with 5 or more
> members who
> would have a representative in our Coordinating Ring and
> developing committees
> which have fewer than 5 members. In addition to the work at hand,
> discussions will be crucial to committees and workgroups; using
> a separate
> listserve for each group would facilitate archiving these discussions for
> reference and WAOE history. Small committees and workgroups
> probably do not
> need their own listserves but could perhaps have their own page on the
> Bulletin Board while they are active; Bulletin Board
> conversations also "keep
> minutes" by archiving.
