  • The reports working group has finalized the initial reports along with some additional reports on both the USAS-R & USPS-R Public Reports sites.

  • Dee continues to monitor Service Desk tickets.  If a report is requested and could be used by many, she will first touch base with SSDT to determine if this should be added as a SSDT report

  • If decision is made to add it to public reports site, Dee is requesting we include two “off Steering Committee members” Larry Lifer, and Sharon Lawley in the SDT group meetings for the reports purpose.

  • Should we check into a list of reports for Auditors or do we need them now that we have Report Bundles in place?
