News
The FIG Task Force on Governance Structures is desperately looking for
further responses to its questionnaire. The Task Force has only received 15
replies to the questionnaire that was sent out in August as of the end of
October. Ken Allred, chair of the Task Force advises that “There have been a
lot of common concerns about the FIG governance structure which reflect the need
for some serious discussions on how we manage the time and fiscal commitments of
our commissions and delegates. It is however unfortunate that we don’t have a
broad cross-section of responses from all continents and particularly from some
of the smaller member associations.”
In response to the lack of replies, the Task Force has agreed to hold off
compiling the results until the end of November. Member associations are
encouraged to review the questionnaire below and return it to Ken Allred, email:
gkallred@telusplanet.net, as soon
as possible and by the very latest 10 December 2005. The Task Force will
be meeting at the Regional Conference in Ghana in March to define a preliminary
recommendation to Council and the General Assembly.
Terms of reference
The Task Force was established by the FIG Council in January
2005.
