From my quick read, very interesting. Some really good thinking went into this.

Staggered 2-year terms and term limit are improvements. The organisation by delegation is merely recognizing what I think obtains now. Ensuring cross delegation support for election is a useful innovation. Note the recall provision is missing; it removes recall power from appointing entity and vests removal in the NomCom as a whole, albeit with a supermajority. Appointing entity therefore has an enhanced duty of care; the ALAC may have to reconsider and review it process for NomCom appointments. Good idea to embrace a Chair from the outside. The interim Chair selection process is a recipe for confusion though. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Thu, Aug 21, 2014 at 3:09 PM, Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> wrote:

Short and pretty concise, and makes interesting reading.

No explicit changes for ALAC - still 5 members on NomCom and still recommends appointing 5 ALAC Members. Far more changes for rest of AC/SOs though.

Also recommends 2-year terms for those on the NomCom including Chair (with a number of escape hatches).

I have concerns with some aspects, but overall looks like a thoughtful piece of work. And far better than the external reviews we tend to get.
