1. Christine Clark, discussion about data needs to support the strategic planning initiatives in her area, and how data governance can provide assistance.
2. Data Users Groups have been difficult to identify.
Note the roles defined for the Data Users Groups
1. Provide a formal mechanism for communication among data users, data processors, and data managers.
2. Connect the data managers to ways in which the institution uses the data
a. See example from Student Accounts – positions, not people
b. Registrar wants to vet user issues through the Data Governance Council
3. Introduction to send to “data experts”
Most data stewards have identified an internal group of experts that will be called upon when questions arise that require specific knowledge.
See attached list of areas and people
This is not a group that will have a regular meeting, but rather individuals who will help on an as needed basis
As a courtesy, an introduction should go out to everyone on this list explaining to them that they have a role in this overall initiative
From you or from me??.
Telling who the data steward is in their area
Making them aware that they could get a request from that person.
