V. CFE Outreach and Facebook Page The CFE also considered a draft news article on Climate Change, an invitation to display information at the Orange County Library, and whether to develop internal guidelines for the CFE Facebook page and other social media. O'Connor said she will request permission from Beth Young (DEAPR Communications Manager) to add her email to the CFE Facebook page to give Young administrative access. Young can then ensure the page conforms to the County Social Media Policy, and can then notify the CFE that it is ready for use. There was discussion a small ad hoc committee to develop internal protocols for the CFE's use of social media. O'Connor and Ray will work to clarify the internal rules. Bouma and Wegman will be kept in the loop. The draft article on Climate Change was discussed and a few changes were proposed and received by the article's authors (Kaiser et al.). Kaiser will revise these sections and circulate the revised article over email as well as a second article on climate change containing information about changes in the paleo climate for further discussion.
