In order to develop plans for each Standing Committeethe Interim WMH Management Group agreed at its meeting on 3 July 2017 that Interim Working Groups will be established from September 2017 in order to consider and formulate the change management and work plans for each of the following WMH Standing Committees:
-Commercial & Communications
-Development
-Events
-Technical
IMHA and WGMA are invited to nominate persons to act as Chairs and Members of the Interim Working Groups as outlined below.
Chairs
Each organisation may nominate up to 4 persons to be considered as Chairs of the 4 Interim Working Groups. It is anticipated that each organisation will have 2 persons appointed as Chairs. Those persons nominated as Chairs may also be nominated as Members and will be considered if they are not appointed as a Chair (see below).
Members
Each Interim Working Group will consist of 6 Members and a Chair. Each organisation is invited to nominate 3 persons with appropriate experience, skills and expertise to be appointed as Members to each of the 4 Interim Working Groups.
An additional (4th) person may be nominated if one of the 3 initial nominees is also nominated as Chair of that Interim Working Group. If the person is subsequently appointed as Chair, the remaining 3 nominees will be appointed as Members. If the person is not appointed as Chair, the first 3 nominees will be appointed as Members and the 4th nominee will not be considered, subject to the conditions stated in the following paragraph.
It is initially planned that each organisation will have 3 persons appointed to each Interim Working Group. However, the Interim WMH Management Group reserve the right to appoint 4 Members from one organisation and 2 from the other based on the level of experience and expertise of all nominees in the specific area of responsibility for a particular Interim Working Group.
It is not expected that any persons will be nominated for more than one Interim Working Group in order to provide as wide a spread of individuals as possible and in recognition of the likely responsibilities and level of commitment required by each appointed person.
