My thoughts:
Reps from all specializations should be represented as Council, since the Council is the overseeing body and discusses the strategy around the specializations. We need to guarantee that this is not a “Leadership track” only body as long as we have different tracks. Having gone through the Leadership track to have the “leadership skills” is certainly a plus, but I don’t think we would find a lot of people that have gone through that track and still are part of other tracks to have the overall view.
Who can join the Council?
As of now, only mentors are able to get elected for Council. To make sure that we have the best possible representation, we should change the criteria as following:
- Every Rep can nominate themselves for Council
- A Rep who is nominating themselves needs to have been an active Rep for the past 12 months.
Other criteria such as commitment etc. don’t need to be changed I think.
