I think we need to specify the position and terms/duties for the representatives to the scientific committees for CDA and CSEM - 2 years? 3 years? What are the current terms for the other members of these committees? Also, what about the representative to LWPES Drugs and Therapeutics? This is a 3 year term - should travel expenses be paid for this person who must attend the LWPES meetings (or at least a travel bursary??)

Should positions be determined all at the same time (ex. secretary and president's positions should not end at same time)?

RE: LWPES rep. Guy and I felt that this position need not be a named Executive position, but the will of the Group may think otherwise.
RE: Timing. I suppose that convention and tradition will dictate the common-sense idea to stagger the time frame of the terms of Secretary and President, but I do not know if that needs to be spelled out in the ArtsOfAssoc. But maybe the Group would like to see 2-yr terms for Prez and, say, 3-yr renewable terms for Secretary & Treasurer. Although even that requirement could lead to coincidental turnover.
Note that the draft has separated the positions of Secretary and Treasurer, while allowing for one individual to hold both offices. Now that we're putting some treasure into this Group, I would have no trouble sliding over to the Treasurer's chair and surrendering Secretary duties to any other interested individual. Interested candidates may please identify themselves for nomination next week, for a term to begin with the 2007 membership year.
Comments, please!

It usually works out that the executive is made up of CPEG members from a variety of institutions and regions - but does that need to be detailed in the constitution?
