GOALS/DELIVERABLES  \nList the goals this committee will accomplish. What are the anticipated outcomes of the committee’s efforts? What products will the committee create? Include anticipated timelines, if known.  \nConsider including success criteria or measures. How will the committee measure and evaluate its success? What makes a successful committee and project? Often, success criteria include measures around the individual, committee, or group experience and the committee’s products, outputs, outcomes, or impact.  \n4. SCOPE  \nWhat is in scope and out of scope for this committee? What will it address? What is it NOT supposed to address? What types of decisions will the committee make or provide  \nrecommendations for? What types of decisions will the committee NOT make or provide recommendations for?  \n5. RISKS/CONSIDERATIONS  \nAs this committee is operating and making decisions, what should it keep in mind? What potential factors may impact or affect implementation and successful outcomes? What assumptions are you relying on to achieve the committee’s goals?  \n6. MEMBERSHIP  \nWho will compose the committee? How many? Who do they represent?
