– what is the status of CEAC? No longer ad hoc, now ‘other’
+ we need to get our status and membership clarified

– note : most of past CEAC work has been done via small committees
+ sub-committees meet more often and not at times that full CEAC meets
+ sub-committees make recommendations to the main committee

– we have no clear report, so we report to whomever we feel its appropriate for any given topic

– there are lots of people, orgs, and entities on campus involved in green/envi issues. It would be good to list them all, and to clarify our relationship to them
+ (see handout for list so far)
+ Stephanie proposes adding an official ZC rep to CEAC
+ one role of CEAC is a forum for different campus groups to communicate with each other

– Hank sent an email to FSC asking for clarification about our status

? Is there a way for CEAC to become involved in some of the master planning that other depts are doing?

+ we may have more ability to implement policies rather than get involved in particular planning projects
