Communication is crucial to keeping the governance committee engaged with their duties.  Most communications should be facilitated via a Governance Committee SharePoint site (duh?!) so that the information is available to the group around the clock.  Communications to the governance committee should include, at a minimum:

• Governance meeting dates and times and the agenda for the next Governance meeting.
• Minutes from each previously held meeting so that those unable to attend will be able to catch up on what decisions were made and what topics were discussed.
• Decisions made in each meeting.
• Any interesting use of SharePoint that’s been encountered within the user community that can be used as a success story.
• Effects of decisions made by the Governance Committee.
• An area for feedback from the SharePoint user community that the Governance committee can interact with directly.
• Upcoming meeting agendas and any work that should be done prior to a meeting.
