Item 1 – Scoutlink Docs

Discussion took place and the 3 year rule needs too be discussed and possibly revised as it would stop an otherwise good CC or RC from staying on.

The Documents are complicated and especially for Non-English speakers. It was agreed to carry over until next Council meeting and to discuss by email.

Item 2- Scoutlink Email.

As Council members where concerned over length and times of meeting it is possie to cut down the length of meetings by using email more often and effectively.

Agreed to do this.

Item 3 – Council members and Deputies

Secretary has sent out an list of all members who have replied. If you a deputy and are not on there see the Boss :o)

Agreed that everyone would do this urgently.

Item 4 – Attendance of Members and deputies.

Roger-uk reported that he was still doing this and it was agreed to hold over until next meeting.

Item 5 – Proxy voting

With the new rule that all Council members or their deputies should attend then it was no longer a good idea to allow proxy or email votes.

Discussion took place and

Roger-uk Proposed  that we no longer allow email or proxy voting in view of the fact that all CC;s or their deputies should be in meeting.

Seconded: Ellie

Carried: Unanimously

Item 6 – JOTI Coordinator.

Jabiru will contact Peeves for an update on the JOTI planning.
