Hi Anne,
I did consult with the NCUC on this, but to be honest, I did not frame the question in exactly the same context I maybe should have. Your question in the email, and the discussion that I heard over the mp3 recording of Thursday’s call indicated that I should have elaborated a bit on the question that I asked.
What I did do was share the draft language with the four scenarios, and asked if there was a conflict between scenarios 1 and 2 with any agreement within the NCPH to rotate VC between the two stakeholder groups. The answer I received was that the standing agreement applies to appointed vice-chairs, but not interim vice chairs. I will add to this with what happened in Dublin; the sitting vice-chair who was a continuing councillor continued as an interim vice-chair on behalf of the NCPH (as a result of an agreement between the NCSG and CSG for him to do so, and in the absence of any guidelines on the matter), then was replaced by another vice-chair selected by the NCPH after the chair elections were finalised.
I did not, however, ask whether it is desirable to be able to select another interim vice-chair, to replace the vice-chair ending a 1-year term. I will note that in response to sharing the scenarios, there were no objections to any of them.
I could go back and elaborate on the question, but honestly, I don’t see a need to do so. My general thoughts on the needs of all the scenarios we’ve developed is that they need to be as seamless and efficient as possible. My reasons for this being that in the unlikely event that the Council finds itself, yet again, unable to elect a chair, the whole Council needs to have the time and bandwidth to deal with this in an expedited matter, and not be bogged down by any question on temporary appointments across the different scenarios. I believe the current draft does this nicely.
If scenario 1 is amended to provide an option for the selection of an interim VC, I would suspect that the NCSG and CSG will waste valuable time and effort working this out, instead of proceeding with the more urgent issue of electing a Council chair.
Seemed like a lively discussion took place on Thursday. Apologies once again for missing it.
Thanks.
Amr
AMR, could you please advise where NCUC stands on the possible right to appoint a new Vice Chair as Interim in the event a Chair is not elected?
Thank you,
Anne
