Meeting for Sufferings: Nominations

Changes to Central Nominations Committee and the Committee of Clerks have been considered by Meeting for Sufferings

by Harry Albright 20th December 2019

MfS returned to the issue of nominations processes, which it had considered in November 2018. Recording clerk Paul Parker presented a draft terms of reference for a new committee, with the provisional name of ‘Gifts for Service Committee’, which would combine the work of the Central Nominations Committee (CNC) and the Committee on Clerks (CoC). ‘It’s about looking at the gifts people bring and the opportunities for service and how to marry those,’ he said, adding that both committees were happy with the change. He noted that it will be up to Yearly Meeting in session to make these changes. The role of Sufferings was to check that what is proposed is what they had envisaged in their prior considerations.
