Talk:Draft report on sub-committees

We have been thinking about this for a while. The person originally doing this has been a bit overwhelmed by other things so I put this together with the help of staff and Doug as a way forward. Thoughts pleaseJon Davies (WMUK) (talk) 15:07, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

I've made one change (while logged out I see). The basic starter kit is: Executive, Finance (inc. Audit), Governance, & maybe Operations & Membership. With (currently) a very small board, the need for them lessens, but they are a way of engaging non-trustees, & those staff members not at every board meeting.

See also the draft at General Committee Charter. Generally a board "sub-committee" would have its voting membership restricted to board members, often with staff as "observers" - as in councils etc. Plain "committee" is probably a better term for the mixed-member bodies we envisage.
