The implementation of self-management
will require the adoption of a well understood governance model for
SCA.
One major tool to accomplish this goal
will be a revised Board Policy Manual (BPM) that incorporates the concepts of
the governance model.
Last month, I presented, on behalf of
the Board, the governance model needed to successfully implement
self-management.
Since then, the Board has conducted a
public discussion session on changes that are needed to the BPM.
The first discussion session focused on
legal language changes.
(As one attendee told me, this
discussion was as exciting as watching paint dry.)
But next Monday, the Board will begin
the more significant work of making decisions that will affect cultural roles of
SCA volunteers and how volunteers, including the Board, will be organized and
used to govern versus manage under self-management.
I have received numerous communications
about my position on the changes I believe are necessary and why I take the
positions.
Many of the communications contain
inadequate interpretations of my positions.
(As an example, I do not favor
eliminating standing committees; although, I believe each of the standing
committees needs to be evaluated to determine it they are supporting governance
or management objectives.)
Therefore, I have prepared the attached
Position Paper to explain my positions and to provide rationales for the basis
of my positions.
THESE ARE MY POSITIONS AND DO NOT
REPRESENT THE POSITIONS OF THE BOARD OR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE
BOARD.
Required Changes to the
Board Policy Manual
