This Council Plenary Session focused on FDLP Manual Supplement 2: Guidelines for the Federal Depository Library Program. GPO staff assume that it will go away once the FDLP Handbook becomes final [currently still a draft]. Technically it is a Council document (according to Chair Geoff Swindells), and Council can decide if it wants to review/update the document, or create a new one.
Discussion centered on the updated Handbook, whether or not a new document was necessary, and the fact that the current document reads like an executive summary of the Handbook.
It was noted that the guidelines currently focus on collections – if collections were removed, what would take its place? council decided to take out everything non-depository related (like adhere to ILL standards) and re-create the document, moving more towards service standards.
Not sure if a deadline was mentioned for updating the document.
