Decision Area 2:
Terms of office
The decisions are grouped in two sections below:
- Decisions that are LESS likely to need substantial discussion and,
- Decisions that are HIGHLY likely to need substantial discussion
(Reminder: important doesn't necessarily mean hard/needing a lot of discussion, and easy doesn't necessarily mean unimportant)
At the end of this page, just like the one on Trustees: Who are they? there is a link to a feedback form. This link will take you to a Googledoc where you can add your feedback on all the questions and decisions.
Once you have reviewed this decision area, please move onto Decision area 3.
There is a link for Decision Area 3 at the bottom of the page.
