The
nomination of Jury members and Jury Presidents is a weak point of our new
Statute. The proceeding for choosing the Jury Coordinator is not clear as well
as the nomination and the role of other Jury members or assistants. During last
World Championship the weakness of these rules revealed and many troubles had
to be solved by the Central Committee or by the Board. Therefore these rules
must be upgraded.
Jury
should be composed by a certain number of members (three), one of them is the
President who is the first responsible for the Jury activities and for such
reason is ex officio member of the Board. The Jury should be entirely nominated
by the Central committee and can autonomously organize itself also by nominating
a group of assistants (the task force), choosing among the experts suggested by
national groups (in order to ensure a large participation).
As
agreed in the last Central Committee meeting in Wien, the "head" of the
Intersteno (President, Vice President and Secretary-Tresurer) will be "elected"
(instead than nominated) through a secret vote, in order to guarantee the
transparency of the proceeding.

members. They can also be directly
organized by the Intersteno Board.

Financially the organizing committee is only responsible for the costs
directly linked to the organization of the congress.

21.5. Financially the organizing committee is

Central Committee or, in case of urgency, by the Board.

21.6.
The Federation can give financial support to the organizing committee.
|
21.6. The Federation can give financial
support to the organizing committee in
form of a loan, if the Congress is organized by a national group.
|
This proposal stresses that Intersteno
Congresses can be managed also by the Intersteno itself (without the
intervention of a National Group. This can be particularly helpful if
Intersteno want to organize a Congress out of Europe.
The financial support (only in case of Congress
organized by a National Group) is always in form of a loan and should not be
considered a donation
19.1. ...
Participants have to pay the participation
fee, fixed by the organizing committee, and have to comply with the contest
regulations, decided on by the Central Committee on the proposal of the
Board.
|
19.1....
Participants have to pay the participation
fee, fixed by the organizing committee, and have to comply with the contest
regulations, decided on by the Central Committee on the proposal of the Jury.

This proposal
stress that the Jury has in charge the maintenance of the contest regulations,
so that Central Committee should not be involved in endless discussion on
technical issues. Central Committee decide on the rules proposed by the Jury,
but can always deal and address suggestions for the competition rules
maintenance. Thus the proceeding will be simplified and Central Committee
attention can be devoted to discuss other strategic items.
