Matters Arising

Enhancing the Diversity of the Court of Common Council – In response to a question concerning timescales associated with the delivery of various aspects of this work, the Chair advised that an indicative timetable had been included as part of an appendix to the report which she would be happy to re-circulate to any interested Member.

Chairman / Chair Nomenclature – The Chair sought and obtained the Committee’s endorsement for herself and others to describe themselves as “Chair”, rather than Chairman. It was confirmed that the default term for committees would be “Chairman”, unless otherwise requested by the incumbent, and that a pragmatic and sensible approach should be taken to accommodating peoples’ wishes.
