  Peace Education and Conciliation (Turning the Tide)

 Strategic review underway

 Presentation focussed on Climate Justice & COP26

 [_very_ brief]

 Will 'witness' be included in the remit of "local development workers"?

   Europe and Middle East is around 10% of world Friends (377K),
    Africa more than half.

   Intervisitation?

*QCCIR report*

   Meeting in Limerick very successful

   CTE catastrophe: we've been empty-chaired over the same-sex
    marriage issue, details in CIRcular [3] and press statements [4]
   Re-affirming the legitimacy of our presence in the ecumenical movement
   Rejecting the relevance of an individual's sexuality in making appointments
   We're in it for the long haul

*Has the word 'overseer' had its day?'

  Maybe yes, maybe no...

*Central Nominations*

  A larger single body (a "new Central Nominations Committee") with
   flexible sub-structure replacing two separate bodies, nominating:

    Clerks of YM and MfS

    Other regular central roles: No central public list of posts for which the
    existing or new groups are responsible exists, but here's a
    partial list, being those appointed at YM in May 2019 (with actual
    numbers):

      Britain Yearly Meeting Trustees (6)
      Yearly Meeting Agenda Committee (5)
      Yearly Meeting Arrangements Committee (3)
      Yearly Meeting Elders (9)
      Yearly Meeting Epistle Drafting Committee (6)
      Quaker Stewardship Committee (5)
      Yearly Meeting Agenda Committee (3)
      Yearly Meeting Pastoral Care Group (1)
      Yearly Meeting Publications Group for Quaker faith & practice (1)

    _Ad-hoc_ roles, e.g. review groups (at least 1 or 2 small ones per
    year) and occasionally big (Review of Yearly Meeting, coming up,
    with 4 _ex officio_ members and 4 to be nominated) to very big
    (Book of Discipline Revision, 20 members@@@)

*Budget*

  5 people, giving 8,000GBP between them, contribute 30% of the YM
   Treasurer's home Area Meeting income

  Deficit, and for some years forward, so reserves will be lowered
  over the coming years
