Governance

Back to Main ESIP page
Back to Implementation Groups

Subgroup Members:

• Rob Raskin
• Chuck Hutchinson
• Bruce Caron

Issues to Be Addressed:

• Permanently Name Alternate Voting Reps for which no proxy is needed – education and communication are key parts toward the successful implementation of this;
• What to do with Community Engagement, Commercial Development & Products and Services Committees; look at all committee charters
• Clusters lifespan – related to membership; finance; AQ was never envisioned to short term; perhaps more appropriate for AQ Cluster to be a WG
• Membership dues
• Leadership succession/terms/when elections are held
• Governance should support strategic plan... meetings should support governance structure

Discussion:

• Permanently Name Alternate Voting Reps for which no proxy is needed – education and communication are key parts toward the successful implementation of this
  • Is there an issue?
  • What would be required to make the change? Look at Bylaw II.2.3 - get clarification from C&B
  • Resolution from Excom articulating the policy change
  • Primary and Secondary alternates would have to be named
    
• What to do with Community Engagement, Commercial Development & Products and Services Committees; look at all committee charters
  • Active committees - Education/IT&I are more self-serving; Inactive committees have larger organizational roles
  • Committee activity review: # of telecons/meetings; # of active people
  • Are committee functions related to ESIP Types?
  • Eliminate committees that are inactive - would require bylaws changes
  • Open process to invite new committee to be formed
