6. Support Structure for Invited Speakers

   Paula and Kim will work on guidelines.

7. Peer University List for P&T

   Redefine the wording in the PTA document to give the untenured more info.

   One idea is to use the top 25 listed in ARL as a guide. The untenured should also look for specialist in their field and balance between institutions and experts. It was also suggested that we compile a list of institutions that have provided letters to successful cases.

   Mary Laskowski will go back to PTA and come up with alternate language to bring back to EC.
