The planning meeting agreed at the Forum meeting on 8th November has now been fixed to take place on 17th January at a location to be decided in or near Perth.
I have kept 'close' to the original intention to achieve a small but representative sample of Forum members at this meeting. Many thanks to those who volunteered their services and have not been invited to attend. I hope everyone can appreciate the benefits of working with a small group.
In agreeing the contributors to the planning meeting, I considered volunteers and then I rather arbitrarily split the Forum members into categories to make sure that there was a reasonable representation across the Forum. You can see how I approached this below. The obvious gap is the SEARS / Agency category. I have taken the view that several of the SEARS organisations have had an input into the preparation of the SNH proposals and therefore representation at the meeting was not required.
I am ready and willing to receive any howls of protest. No views will be excluded and there will be plenty of opportunity, and even an expectation, for comment as the process is developed. After the meeting in January, further ideas will be exchanged with SNH with a view to having revised proposals for Forum members to consider and discuss at the Chairman's Working Group and Forum meetings on 7th & 28th February respectively.
