  1. Alan Greenberg

    Should be adjusted for:

    • 2-year term for Chair. Do we want to do same for other roles? I suspect not.
    • Remove Rapporteur and replace with third Vice-Chair or perhaps something-without-portfolio
    • Cast in concrete the need to have regional balance.

    How we achieve the last could be problematic. In the past few years, we have been able to put together a slate which meats all requirements. It is possible that in the future there could be some contention. If so, we might want to say that in the even that there is contention, that we select the Chair first (if not a 2nd year of term), then VC, and then last position.

    Timing of nominations may have to be adjusted in the case of such a sequence.

    Order of Rules should also be changed. How to elect should come after definition of roles and qualifications.

    • We may need to add also the roles of the other officers in Rule 12  . I can see only defined the role of the chair.
    • I  suggest that for the two VC, one is elected for two years and the second one for one year. The rationale is not having to replace both during the same election.

    COMMENTS FOR CLARIFICATION:

    In 2.2 and 2.3: Is it that at the AGM, voting would be by the methods outlined? Or is that rule saying that the election may happen outside the AGM??

      What I have done here is set up a structure based on the current rules without considering amendments. Amendments can be easily made.
