   * **Do not criticize other people's ideas** - This is not a debate, but an opportunity for everyone to feel comfortable sharing the ideas they have.    * **Do not criticize other people's ideas** - This is not a debate, but an opportunity for everyone to feel comfortable sharing the ideas they have. 
   * **This is not an instructional session** - It is likely that people will raise ideas for improvement when the functionality is already available in Evergreen. That's okay. Spending time to instruct participants on current Evergreen functionality will take away from the core discussion on what an ideal search platform can do. We should view this discussion not only as a way to see where the software can improve, but also to identify where we can improve documentation or make configuration easier. When the focus groups are over, we can follow up with a full report to identify where gaps are between what people think is available and what is really available.   * **This is not an instructional session** - It is likely that people will raise ideas for improvement when the functionality is already available in Evergreen.

   * **No talk of specific search platforms** - For now, we just want to talk about the functionality that should be available to our users, not the means for getting that search to users. Discussions of platforms should come at a later time.    * **No talk of specific search platforms** - For now, we just want to talk about the functionality that should be available to our users, not the means for getting that search to users.
