        1. ExComm was asked to clarify with the UL an item from the February 8 2017 minutes (item 2.2.2.2) that mentioned CAPA having a role in addressing goals. Specifically, CAPA assesses cases based on the APM & MOU, neither of which mentions goals.

        2. The UL agrees with ExComm and CAPA that goal-setting is a management tool and is outside the purview of CAPA.

        3. The UL agrees with ExComm and CAPA that CAPA looks to the APM & MOU to evaluate cases.

        4. The UL will address goal-setting at the annual review workshop.

        5. ExComm confirmed that Affiliated Librarian review cases will not be viewed adversely should RIs for such librarians not require goals.

        6. The UL and ExComm agreed that goals are nevertheless a useful tool for measuring success.
