+# Committees
+
+
+Arctos Committees are groups of people working towards specific goals.
+
+
+## Status of this Document
+
+This is DLM's half-baked list of things that are neat by way of https://github.com/ArctosDB/internal/issues/356. Someone please adopt this and make it better!
+
+
+## Organization
+
+The following items have been helpful.
+
+* Meeting time choice (eg when2meet) should explicitly state whether the time applies to a single or recurring meeting.
+* Meetings should be added to the Arctos calendar. Meetings which will not take place should be removed. 
+* An agenda should exist, and should contain
+	* The schedule
+	* The zoom link
+	* The overall goals of the Committee
+	* Topics of discussion for the next meeting
+* The agenda should be updates as early as possible to facilitate planning
+* An indication of who will participate in any upcoming meetings would be very helpful (possibly google calendar function?)
+
+
+## Google Calendar
+
+* (How does one get access to the Arctos Calendar?)
+* Meeting agendas should be added to the calendar invite (in whatever way magicks the nifty google docs thing)
+* Zoom link should be inclided, but ***not*** in the 'location' slot (which does weird things with maps)
+* The zoom link should be added in whatever way results in a link, not whatever results in the long list of numbers
