Subject: Re: [emergency] RE: Very draft mission statement for the GIS SC
Eliot's concerns should certainly be included. This seems like the value statement that I usually add to Charters, a mission and a value statement work together, and just because it is not called out in the TC guidelines, does not mean that we cannot include it. What Carl put into words from our discussion yesterday outlines the EM TC-specific role and goal of the SC and what Eliot has pointed out is the crux of the need.
