MOM Standing Duties List (draft)

Motivation for this list is threefold:

  • Potential MOMs understand what will be expected of them and how much of their time the role will take up, and can ensure they have received any desired training prior to their stint
  • The list itself can act as the jumping off point to specific documentation elsewhere on the wiki
  • Things don't slip through the net.

Definitions

"filing" = archiving a paper copy in the marked binder in an organised manner
"tidying"= deleting obviously ephemeral mails (CKOV keep alives, paper/poster reviews, etc.) and moving the others from the inbox to a suitable folder
