A discussion was had regarding the proposed document, which the Governance Committee Chair would tabulate the results and report the results at subsequent board meetings.
A discussion ensued regarding the prior year evaluation form and the appropriateness of the having a numerical compilation as compared to disaggregating information based on written responses.
Modify the language to make the document a year long in scope

The initial distribution would be at the April 2018 Board meeting, expect all responses by the May 2018 Board meeting.
