Dear Councilors,

I am writing to seek your urgent input on the proposed composition of the Transfer Policy PDP Working Group.

Following the call for volunteers (see staff's email below), the Council small team (consisting of Carlton, Olga, Greg and myself) has been working on finalizing the draft charter, mainly on the composition of the Working Group.

In coming up with our proposed composition, the small team has taken into account the comments that Councilors made during the February Council meeting (the group size should be around 20) and the community responses to Council chair's email soliciting their interest and number of representatives. Specifically, only the RrSG and the RySG indicated the number of representatives they are likely to assign to this effort:
RrSG indicated: 8 - 15
RySG indicated: 2 - 5

The small team is proposing the following group structure (based on a "representative model") to be included in the Charter:

  • each SG/C/SO/AC that did not respond to Philippe's email or responded but indicated "no representatives": 1 member + 1 alternate
  • RySG: 3 members + 3 alternates
  • RrSG: 10 members + 10 alternates

In order to meet the deadline for submitting documents for the March Council meeting, please provide input or feedback within the next 48 hours, by 23:59 UTC 12 March 2021.

Apologies for such short notice and thank you for your attention in advance.


Kind regards,

Pam

Subject:[council] Transfer Policy PDP - Council small team to finalize charter

Dear Councilors,

 

As a follow up item to last week’s Council meeting, Council leadership is seeking volunteers for a small team of Councilors to work on finalizing the charter of the PDP to Review the Transfer Policy, with a focus on the composition of the Working Group.

 

At this stage I do not believe we have any volunteers. If you would like to sign up, please respond on list.

 

Kind regards,

Emily
