Goals

The goals for the task force include:

1. Coordination of outreach and collaboration events with host institution participation across a number of cities across the UK.
2. Establish shared tools for Institution Ambassador/SPOC self-coordination, action tracking and easy progress reporting.

Resources

• Office based paid coordination support, initial estimate of 1 day/week.
• Budget falls under the UK GLAM budget.

Outcomes planned

1. Self organizing Institution Ambassador network covering at least England and Scotland established in 2011/2012.
2. UK specific outreach materials including institutional start-up packs.
3. UK best practice advice, case studies and direct personal support for new Ambassador prospects.
4. Encouraging process for funding to support ongoing Ambassador travel or other minor costs involved for Institutional meetings and non-local network events.
5. Open published task backlog to encourage new volunteers to offer support and an Agile approach to task delivery.

Constraints

1. No more than 6 members at any one time. Geographic sub-groups as part of the Institution Ambassador network may resolve any “bandwidth” problem (e.g. a London Ambassador group).
2. At least one WM-UK board member in the task force who can advise on budget.
