There was some very good input around the shape of things to come and the process by which we might get there, and clear consensus around the need to empower a 2019 conference committee and form a working group to investigate options for forming an entity.<div><br></div><div>We also agreed generally on the process I proposed yesterday. The first step is to ratify the governance document as a Terms of Reference for a new committee, so I'll introduce this as a motion in a separate thread shortly. Following that, the next step will be to form a committee and define roles as needed - unclear whether this will happen before Christmas or not. I suppose it'll depend on how quickly we adopt the ToR, but in any case I don't think we need to rush it - if we adopt the ToR, we have a plan and can move deliberately at a pace that suits us.</div><div><br></div><div>With these actions I believe we should be comfortably able to give a Conference Committee the formal authority it needs.</div></div>
