[Michael Barron]

A question for the Chair:
Are we going to appoint members of other CFC Committees?

Such as:
TDOCP,
Ethics Committee,
Youth Committee.

[Michael von Keitz]

A question for the Chair:
Are we going to appoint members of other CFC Committees?

TDOCP,
Ethics Committee,
Youth Committee.

The short answer is "no."

The longer answer is that these committees are ad hoc. The Ethics Committee was disbanded at the recommendation of its previous Chair. The TDOCP Committee has Hal Bond as Chair - any qualified individual interested in joining the committee can contact him directly following the AGM. Finally, the Youth Committee will be overseen by the incoming Youth Coordinator, who, again, can be contacted by interested individuals following the AGM.

[Pierre Dénommée]

I am sad to see that the Ethics Committee is an ad hoc Committee.

Actually, this is unethical because choosing who will hear a case after it has been presented can be interpreted as a denial of justice. The person who can choose the Ethics Committee members could choose them to get the result that he wants. If the members are known in advance, there is no such problem.
