22 <p>HST has asked JP to take on the property portfolio, primarily 3F2 in the first
23 instance. Changes in Trustee membership need to be updated to Clan Gordon, and
24 then HST will ask Trustees to nominate JP as contact point.</p></div>

26 <title>New Manager(s) appointment status</title>
27 <p>For the benefit of those not on the appointments panel (RF, KM, HST), HST gave a short recap of the events from the interviews onwards.</p>
28 <p>We discussed how we should respond to the email HST recently received
29 from Majk Stokes (MS): We need to apologise as a committee for the lack of
30 support from his line management, including ourselves.</p>
31 <p>We considered both the timing and the appropriate structure for a
32 response, and concluded that:</p>
33 <list>
34 <item>Attempting to provide detailed written responses was neither
35 possible nor appropriate</item>
36 <item>That a meeting, perhaps best thought of as a threshing meeting, with the appointments panel to address the questions
37 as best we could was the right first step, but would need time to prepare
38 carefully for</item>
39 <item>Only after such a meeting would a Meeting for Clearness to help MS
40 look forward be appropriate</item>
41 <item>The role of the Friends asked to help someone in a Meeting for
42 Clearness is to listen, and to <emph>ask</emph> questions, not to answer them</item>
43 <item>Esther Shreve was mentioned as a possible person from outside the
44 appointments process to invite to a Clearness meeting</item>

49 <title>Staffing</title>
50 <p>We <name>AGREED</name> to continue the salary and hours uplift for the
51 Meeting House contract staff (MS,
52 Ellie Giles and Ken Latham) through November, as the new Managers will not be in
53 post before the middle of the month, and thereafter the responsibility for helping them learn
54 their new roles will fall primarily on the contract staff.
