each group. Appointments made on best fit for group. - (i.e. all high school
members aren't from the same school and both co-ed, large and medium sized
high schools are all represented and not all Junior members are from North and
both Central & North are represented).

Group agreed with the principle of the proposal (split into three sub-committees)
although concerns around the removal of regional representation.

Important to ensure that there is one member that oversees/reports to each subcommittee this will ensure consistency of decision making in areas of overlap.

Should be 5 people (one to ensure votes can be moved one way or the other) on
each committee.

Need to ensure that sub-committee and TYC have specific guidelines and clear
outlines as to their role and responsibilities and what decision making they are
responsible for.

TYC suggested that the presentation is forwarded to hockey community for
feedback.

No. of TYC meetings held is not to be set, has been suggested to hold termly but
maybe keep this open depending on demand.
