 === Terms of Reference (Proposed) ===
-* The Terms of Reference (TOR) is used by a committee as a tool to help it guide its own direction, as well as to make clear its powers, boundaries, and role within the broader organization. It should answer most general questions that would arise during its work regarding the committee's relationship to the rest of EBC's governance structure. (e.g. does the hiring committee directly make job offers, or does it simply make hiring recommendations to the Board?) It should also answer, "what will this committee accomplish, what can I do as part of this committee, and why do we want to do this?"
 * The TOR must be clear, specific, and tangible. The purpose of it isn't to be a meaningless form: it should provide clear guidelines and measurable goals.
-* '''The following questions are examples of the kinds of considerations to make. The TOR doesn't have to answer every question, or go into every detail, nor are the questions exhaustive.'''
