Termly Council Hilary Term 2008

An update was given on Target Schools – please publicise this scheme.

Termly Council was chaired by Martin McCluskey

Election for Chair of Council

Elliot Golend (PMB, OUCA): has been to Council over the last couple of terms. Understands constitutions. Next year there could be timetable clashes. Good at compartmentalising stuff. Wants to keep things moving.

Robert Barham (LMH): has been chair this term. This has been a difficult term, hence some complicated Councils. Familiar with standing orders.

Peter Morcos (Lincoln): these meetings are genuinely important, but at the moment we're not doing this efficiently enough. Not at the cost of discussion, but needs to be more efficient.
 
Election of RO

Robert Dacre: no commitments next term in sports and a historian, so has much time. Doesn't know much about OUSU, completely impartial, campaigned in his youth for Labour and the Conservatives. Understands elections and will understand the constitution and standing orders. Spirit. Doesn't know anyone. Uphold the rules. First year. Keen to publicise. Enthusiasm.

James Dray: was absent but Ingrid Frater read out his speech.

Robert Barham: would you re-run in MT?
Robert: yes

Rich Hardiman: why do you think you have to be a hack?
Robert: thought you had to know lots of people. Would like that assumption to be proved wrong.

Robert Barham was elected Chair of Council.

Robert Dacre was elected RO.
