Minutes should be posted to the committee’s Basecamp project in a timely manner.
Major new projects should be brought to the board for approval at a meeting of the directors, or if timeliness is an issue, sooner via Basecamp.
Lines of Communication
To ensure transparency for current and future committee members, committee business must be communicated and documented (in the case of offline conversations/decisions) through a dedicated Basecamp project for the committee.
Additional Basecamp projects for committee projects (e.g., capital projects) may be created at the chair’s discretion. Non-committee members, outside coordinators, and contractors can be looped in to a subset of content.
