New Council Structure

CouncilProject Groups

Project Groups

Key Points

• Steering committees to consist of a maximum of 20 members (can be less than 20 dependent upon the council)

• LC members automatically eligible for steering committee election

• 3 strike rule: for steering committee members who miss 3 meetings in a calendar year

• Review of steering committee members every 12 months (performance, commitment etc.)

Next Steps

1. Merging sub committees – the four sub-committees will be merged in to one steering committee.

2. Phased approach – the steering committee will be formed in Q4 but not immediately due to the important work on-going e.g. e-Privacy Directive.

3. Project groups – Project groups will be formed to work with the steering committee and give those not on the steering committee the opportunity to be voted up.

4. Quarterly meetings - Steering committee will meet monthly, full council quarterly.
