As a general point, I am a but concerned that these motions will bounce the chapter into making some pretty fundamental changes without having fully considered the implications and without having adequately consulted the community.

Timing and consultation
As a general point, I am a but concerned that these motions will bounce the chapter into making some pretty fundamental changes without having fully considered the implications and without having adequately consulted the community. A 36 page report was published at 5:20pm on Thursday and you're proposing to adopt motions to implement these at 11:45am on Saturday. I'll add some comments on the particular issues below, but I'd like to ask generally whether you think this is adequate or whether it is necessary to rush these changes in like this?

Committees
Appointing committees is an easy step to "undo" if it doesn't work or if there is strong opposition, so on that basis I agree that you could do this now. Regarding the Governance Committee, given that the next set of elections is only a few months away it would be good to get that started ASAP. Likewise with the Audit Committee, it would be nice to have this complete by the AGM so the accounts can be signed off by then. I'm a bit confused how you "establish" a committee without actually appointing named individuals to be on it? Are you planning to do this bit later? Finally, you seem to have missed out the point about diversity in the GovCom terms of reference ("the Governance Committee should stress the importance of having a diverse board. Continuing efforts should be made to achieve diversity including finding women trustees") AndrewRT (talk) 22:59, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
