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

Recommendations:
