 The OLF has asked us to develop a Conflict of Interest policy to help with potential audit issues. We can build on the template created by FOLIO. All voting members of PMC should sign, as they are effectively the project's board of directors. We should also decide if/where to publish this policy. The OLF has asked us to develop a Conflict of Interest policy to help with potential audit issues.

-Ere raised the point that “Project” sounds like something that has an end date, and “Product” might be a better term for our name -- Product Management CommitteeIs it worth changing?

 +He also suggested that once a year is sufficient, and linking it to the Summit makes sense strategically.

 +Demian pointed out that the installation list offers some insight on the community; Ere pointed out that GitHub forks are also interesting.

 +Leila suggested that we should articulate what the money will be used forto highlight the value. 
 +===== 9. Product vs. Project =====
  
 +Ere raised the point (based on internal discussion at National Library of Finland about reputational values) that “Project” sounds like something that has an end date, and “Product” might be a better term for our name -- Product Management Committee. Is it worth changing? (Subsequent research revealed that "Project" seems to be more commonly used, so Ere withdrew the suggestion). It was agreed to take no action at this time.

 +Galen asked about the status of accessibility auditing for VuFind; Demian mentioned that many institutions have done audits and contributed findings back to the project, though the core project itself has not been directly audited. Doing a project-initiated accessibility audit may be a good thing to consider as part of the development of the next theme. This could be something that fundraising could work toward.
