As Chair of the Technical Board, I want to say that I am pleased to see activity in the Academic SIG. It has been somewhat of a struggle to get the Communities going after the forums went down. So, thanks to all of you for re-energizing the SIG.
Just a reminder that this a special interest group and not a sub-committee and, therefore, no charter is required. A SIG is merely a discussion forum where ideas and thoughts can be shared. It is only necessary to have a description of the topics covered in the SIG (which there currently is but may need revision). At some point in the future it may be necessary to upgrade the SIG to sub-committee status, which will require a charter, but that has not been discussed to date.
Having said that, it is important to note this SIG is not an arm of the Education Board. In that respect, you are more than welcome to promote the Ed Board products and activities within the discussion threads but it is not appropriate to solicit on their behalf. That is within the purview of the Education Board alone. Any mention of Ed Board products and activities (including fund-raising) will not be allowed in the SIG description.
Although the current SIG description appears to be adequate, I understand that it may need to be revisited from time to time. And, the fact is, any time there is a change like this it seems to generate a fair amount of activity. So, by all means, I encourage you to do some tweaking to the current description.
Thanks again for your continued interest in the Academic SIG!

Anything helps. A few sentences, a paragraph.
