Subject: [Board] Slack for TEP

Hi,

As an action arising from the initial meeting of the Strategic Plan Implementation Committee today, I've signed TEP up for a free Slack plan so that the committee can have a persistent chat workspace for its work.  I would also like to sign TEP up for the Pro plan, which would be free for up to 250 users at the nonprofit discount [https://slack.com/help/articles/204368833-Apply-for-the-Slack-for-Nonprofits-discount<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__slack.com_help_articles_204368833-2DApply-2Dfor-2Dthe-2DSlack-2Dfor-2DNonprofits-2Ddiscount&d=DwMFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=hkUaV5oeez5hwc81VrmIUg&m=a594YMXqEMpUfKTRv1Nt1J_m7TnnEyAh3NX5j6deQvZYEuXSfmWJBRED2tK3pflz&s=FwivNaJnlfTjhx02PVMYVmxQOYKuyWTFYvIRlQIygfQ&e=>]. The initial purpose is to allow committee members without evergreen-ils.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__evergreen-2Dils.org&d=DwMFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=hkUaV5oeez5hwc81VrmIUg&m=a594YMXqEMpUfKTRv1Nt1J_m7TnnEyAh3NX5j6deQvZYEuXSfmWJBRED2tK3pflz&s=iWTaPJbDC6q4spsSJinvDpUDH1IWBPsTELVXkblfbDU&e=> email addresses to more readily join the Slack workspace, though of course other uses of Slack are possible.

This action is primarily meant to facilitate the work of the committee; it is not meant to prejudge any discussion about alternatives or replacements for IRC for broader community discussions.

Given the $0 cost, I do not think that this rises to the level of necessarily requiring a formal board vote, but if there are any objections, please feel free to raise them.

Regards,

Galen
