Report of Admin Committee 24/11/00

Administration Committee Report to November 2000 Council

  1. Performance review criteria and process:

    2. A paper will be tabled at the meeting.

  2. DRS review:

    3. Admin Committee is concerned that Council has yet to make a clear decision on this issue. There has been a reluctance to conduct the review because of the likely cost and a perception that with the departure of Patrick O'Brien there may be little to be gained. Nevertheless, Admin committee recommends that the review proceed in order to clarify exactly what happened and to ensure that there were no conflicts of interest or other issues with the roles played by all concerned.

  3. Moderation of .govt domain

    4. Admin Committee recommends that the request from Mark Harris of the e-Government Unit of the State Services Committee for moderation of the .govt.nz domain to be moved to him, from Mark Harris lately convener of GOVIS, be acceded to and asks Council to formally endorse this.

  4. Processing applications for .bank.nz and .maori.nz

    5. Admin Committee recommends that Council establish a special working group in order to expedite this matter.

  5. 5NetForum

    6. A paper will be tabled outlining some recommendations about changes required if ISOCNZ is to continue to support the Forum.

  6. Council meetings in 2001

    7. Admin Committee sees merit in the present monthly cycle of meetings but considers that it is too cumbersome to have full Council meetings every month. A possible six-weekly option is considered unworkable for a number of reasons. Accordingly we suggest that Council meetings be help bimonthly, with facilitated meetings of committees and or working groups in Wellington in the alternating month. This would not be more expensive than the present monthly meeting cycle, but would allow WGs and committees to function more effectively, and thus expedite the work of the Council.

  7. New office accommodation

    8. An offer has been made by the Chair of the Admin Committee for the lease of office premises in Bond Street in accordance with the authorisation from the October Council meeting. The lease will be for three years with right of renewal, at a cost of $25,000 pa. There is extensive upgrading and alteration required and the premises will not be available until February. The space includes a board room which would be suitable for Council meetings as well as for other purposes such as training sessions and seminars.
