SCAR EXCOM 2013 IP01: COs and Cross Linkages Meeting - Agenda

Purpose

For the first time the Chief Officers (COs) and Cross Linkages meeting will be held jointly – this is to improve efficiency (normally this involves two separate meetings, which have many identical agenda items) and to reduce cost and travel.

The meeting will be jointly chaired by Graham Hosie (SSG-LS Chief Officer) and Mike Sparrow (SCAR Executive Director). Renuka Badhe (SCAR Executive Officer) will be Rapporteur.

The cross linkage is a forum to discuss ongoing and future interactions between the SSGs, new SRPs etc. The focus this year will be on interactions between/ with the new SRPs and on any new joint groups formed over the last year.

The COs meeting is intended to allow the COs to discuss items of interest/concern in advance of the EXCOM meeting, not to repeat the entire EXCOM agenda 2013-07-). It is really an opportunity for the COs to discuss matters on the agenda (or off it!) that they wish to highlight to EXCOM. Note that in order to encourage open and frank discussion the only member of EXCOM to attend this meeting is the Executive Director.
