Informational

 

Background

The current Rules of the ccNSO have been established in 2004. Since 2004 the ccNSO itself and the environment in which it operates has evolved. For example, when the Rules were adopted in 2004, the ccNSO had around 50 members. Currently, there are 172 members. Another example, to address various needs of the growing (membership- and importance-wise) ccNSO, in 2007 the ccNSO started to develop internal procedures (guidelines) as envisioned in the Bylaws (currently, Article 10).  Next example, the introduction of the Empowered Community and the role of the ccNSO as a decisional Participant. It is obvious that this new role was NOT envisioned at the time the Rules of the ccNSO were conceived. The need to update the Rules has been recognized and discussed by the ccNSO members at several meetings for the past 3 years.

 

If time permits, this session is intended to ask Councillors through break-out rooms to identify topics and aspects of the ccNSO Governance you would like to see included in future Rules of the ccNSO. Your input will be used by the GRC in its work.
