The Wikipedia definition of Governance is that it is the process for applying consistent and cohesive practices for a given area of responsibility. The key document for governance is the decision making processes. That is, how decisions are made is a key component of Governance. I apologise that this has already gone out in an email, but it is worth doing and contributing to. The SIRA Committee is seeking to set a more formal process by which the community decision making process is managed. The attached draft document is based upon previous documents, discussions at community meetings over the past 30 years, a planning and strategy meeting held and facilitated by a non-SIRAC member and in line with our Constitution. We are looking for community input regarding the attached draft document. You may provide comment anonymously through clicking the link below. www.surveymonkey.com/s/SIRA_Decision_Making_Process

Bill, a few questions: - Can you give a number of examples of decisions made by SIRA/SIRAC over the past few years and indicate in which category they fall according to these proposed rules? - How will the transparency of the decision making process be guaranteed? - Is there an appeal process. i.e. if a non-'significant decision' (in the opinion of the decision maker) was made and there are objections by members? - How can a significant decision become insignificant if it is part of a previously adopted plan? - An important part of governance is a clear indication of responsibilities and accountability and the existence of checks and balances. There are no details regarding these in your document.
I am not sure if the document you tabled is detailed enough.
