Objective
The objective of the Primo Working Group (WG) is to co-operate with Ex Libris in developing new services and functions for Primo. Core group activity is to conduct the annual enhancement voting process. Other activities include planning for the IGeLU conference and regular meetings with product management staff to discuss future directions and current issues relating to Primo.

WG membership rules
Starting in 2020, the IGeLU working groups will follow the guidelines for the ELUNA/IGeLU joint working groups (JWG). These include the following prescription for memberships: “… members are elected for a term of two years with a limit of three terms in a row. In some cases where there is difficulty in finding members to serve on the group, or to retain members for extra terms (for example past chairs), exceptions can be made. An effort should be made to ensure that there is some continuity with membership such that not all experienced members rotate off at once.”
The guidelines are implemented with an exception for those who were members before 2019, when the first WG membership was conducted (as there were more candidates than open positions). Those members will be counted as starting their first term in 2020 and may take two re-elections, which gives us this tabular view:
| Name | Start date | re-election | # of 2yr terms |
| Stacey | 2020 | 2022 | 1 of 3 |
| Boaz | 2020 | 2022 | 1 of 3 |
| Gaith | 2019 | 2021 | 1 of 3 |
| Noémie | 2019 | 2021 | 1 of 3 |
| Ulrich | 2020 | 2022 | 1 of 3 |
| Lee | 2020 | 2022 | 1 of 3 |
| Paul | 2019 | 2021 | 1 of 3 |
| Bettina | 2020 | 2022 | 1 of 3 |
