/* Study Groups */
<li>The Society should organize interdisciplinary projects, and some discipline-specific projects, as [[Study Groups]] under the direction of the [[Dean of Studies]], rather than as [[Committees]] attached to the various Departments.</li>
<li>The Society should adopt a policy limiting [[Coordinators]] of [[Study Groups]] to being in charge of only one such group at a time. If two groups are related&mdash;such as Anthropology and Archaeology&mdash;then the groups could be merged under a single Coordinator. Membership in additional Study Groups would not be constrained.</li>
<li>The Society should more clearly specify and publish the purpose and scope of the [[Descents from AntiquityStudy Group|Descents from Antiquity Project]] project.</li><li>The Society should more clearly identify the individual lines that it attempts to prove or disprove with the [[Descents from AntiquityStudy Group|Descents from Antiquity Project]] project.</li><li>The Society should produce reports on each of the lines studied by the [[Descents from AntiquityStudy Group|Descents from Antiquity Project]] project on a regular basis until each is proven or disproven, with the final reports on each published in the Omnibus.</li><li>The Society should document and publish the process by which the [[Family of AugustansStudy Group|Family of Augustans Project]] project is to be pursued.</li><li>The Society should place the combined lineages included in the [[Family of AugustansStudy Group|Family of Augustans Project]] project online for use by members.

<li>The Society should oblige the [[First Peoples Study Group]] to create a statement of purpose.</li>
<li>The Society should work to identify the individuals and locations (and to the extent possible, the dates) of the prints in the Society's photo collection.</li>
