Sub Group President’s meeting |
A draft agenda was provided to the executive at the meeting. The discussion was had about the scheduling of the meeting. Discussion about the subgroup president’s reports. Agenda shows actual verbal reports. The discussion of where on the agenda these reports might be instead of in the morning they could be in the afternoon. Questioned whether a virtual binder would be used to save/archive documents. The day of training that is being planned-agenda isn’t finalized yet as discussion with Mobilization is still happening. Suggestion that an agenda item needs to be added-the IT rebranding discussion with the subgroup presidents. |

IT Group branding/logo contest |
Suggestion to table to the CS Subgroup President’s Meeting. Motion: That the CS Exec makes the decision on what the group will be named at the Dec 3 executive meeting. Moved by Stacy Second by Yvonne Disposition: Defeated
Discussion about wanting to have the input of the subgroup presidents should be taken into consideration. It was indicated that this has been around for a long time and this needs to be done now rather than tabling it from meeting to meeting. There were many pros and cons discussed. Need identified to determine our options: CS Group with IT Classification? or must we become the IT Group. We cannot use “TI” since it is already a PSAC Table.
Motion: That the CS Exec makes the decision on what the group will be named at the first executive meeting after the Subgroup President’s meeting. Moved by Yvonne Second by Rob Disposition: Carried
Action Item: JP and 2 members of the Executive will do the research to prepare the presentation for the subgroup president’s meeting. |

Empty Executive Spots |
It has been noted that we should be making the decision on what will happen to fill the empty spots that need to be filled in the first meeting in 2022. Also, the position of Contracting out officer. It was moved that Yvonne take over the Contracting out Officer as well as the Labour Relations portfolio and was acclaimed. There should be 2 positions on the COAT filled as well. The question of could we go outside of the executive to fill these empty COAT positions. Patricia and Steven volunteered to take part in the COAT.
Motion: The CS Group will cover salary for the knowledge transfer concerning the Contracting out portfolio up to one day of salary. Moved: Eva Second by: Rob Disposition: Carried Secretary duties will transfer to Tony when Stacy transfers out. Action Item: Stan to contact Gordon about Membership portfolio.
