PPM review:
Remove section about granting/revoking LibGuide access in the 2nd bullet under Purpose.
We think it should go back under the responsibility of the GODORT Chair. Lora will relay proposed PPM changes to Lynda and Robbie.
Add section about maintaing LibGuide of web best practices.


How can the Technology Committee promote EDI?
How can we put statements into our best practices to demostrate Equity, Diversity and Inclusion?
We can make sure that accessibility issues are addressed in GODORT web content and add a statement in the LibGuide to be respectful of different cultures, gender identities, race, ethnicity, etc. in web content. The group will review pronouns in content for gender -- change he/she to they
