Issue - meetings

For the benefit of newer Members to the Constitution Committee, and in particular to the Sub-Committee, the attached report outlines the role of the Sub-Committee.

The Sub-Committee considered the information report of the Democratic Services and Registration Manager which outlined the role of the Outside Organisations Sub-Committee.  The terms of reference had been devised by the Sub-Committee which had, in turn, been adopted by the Constitution Committee.

Members commented that the terms of reference required revision; in particular items (c) and (d) made reference to “overseeing” appointments and some Members were unclear about the definition of the word in this context.

RESOLVED: That the Terms of Reference for the Sub-Committee be re-drafted and submitted to the next meeting.
