Discussion
Action Items
Contract Risk Management
Jack Briggs explained the process for managing contract risks. If a risk to delivery arises, the procurement team would be notified, and the committee would be informed. The committee would then support the team and procurement to either complete the contract or nullify it and resubmit the proposal.
Committee Voting Responsibilities
Wes Parkinson asked what the committee would be voting on. Jack Briggs clarified that the committee would vote on the specifications for all budget items, including approving the shortlist of candidates for projects and holding the internal team accountable for following the selection process.
Diversity & Representation
Simon Register raised the topic of diversity and representation in the committee. He noted that while there is good representation from various regions, Australia is not currently represented.
Committee Structure & Community Input
Terence McCutcheon clarified the committee's structure and emphasized the importance of community input. He explained that the committee would primarily be approving documentation and that subcommittees would be formed to handle specific tasks, such as event pre-review.
Regional Representation & Charter
Tim Harrison and Kit Willow discussed the importance of regional representation and suggested adding language to the charter to reinforce this commitment.
