Main Business:
*Presentation of documents:
Chair presented two documents to the committee.
Document 1 (see attachment): contains the organisational structure of the PSF UK, as proposed by
the President at the October 2012 meeting of the committee. This has now been ratified and
confirmed, with no objections from the committee members.
Document 2 (see attachment): outlining the outstanding activities for the departments of the
committee for 2013.
Chair requested that department heads review Document 2 and assemble their departments to plan
and talk through which activities have been completed and which activities are being worked on,
with a view to reporting back to the chair and the President within the next fortnight. Chair also
requested that any activities ongoing that are not on the document should be brought to the
committee's attention.
*National championships
Chair proposed that efforts towards a National basic Wasit Juri course and a UK National
Championship be made, with a view to holding this before the beginning of 2013 Q3 (1 July), while
the President is in the UK.(see activity marked National basic Wasit Juri Course in task list
(attached)).

Other business:
Questions from committee members:
1 How will performance of committee members be assessed?
2 In light of recent events and near-term developments, how will the committee cover medium- to
long-term absences or departures of trainers and/or committee members?
3 Does the committee have any plan for developing more trainers to accommodate the increase in
activity?
4 Does the committee have any objection to restructuring Sunday classes at the Place (either
shortening the hours or changing the time, or both)?
Responses:
1 There is a plan in place which is being discussed by the senior executives and the President.
2 Until more information is forthcoming about when and how long these will be, activities will
proceed as normal. Once a departure/absence is confirmed, a contingency plan will be put into
place.
3 This has already begun, and will be brought to the President's attention at the earliest
opportunity.
4 This has been considered previously, but was a logistical impossibility. However, the committee
is prepared to look into alternative arrangements for the Sunday class at the Place.
Action points prior to next meeting
Department heads will review list of activities and liaise with their respective teams to determine
what has been completed and what progress has been made on outstanding activities.
Department heads will report back on the above prior to the next meeting.
Secretariat is charged with ensuring the department heads receive all documents necessary for the
above in a timely fashion.
Meeting Adjourned at 7:40 pm
