1. Attendance

Present + J. P. Ascher (via Zoom) (JP), Rachel Fitzgerald (RF), Katrina McCrea (KM), Jacqueline Noltingk (JN), Henry S. Thompson (HST)
Prevented + Laragh +Quinney (LQ)

HST has asked JP to take on the property portfolio, primarily 3F2 in the first +instance. Changes in Trustee membership need to be updated to Clan Gordon, and +then HST will ask Trustees to nominate JP as contact point.

New Manager(s) appointment status

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.

We discussed how we should respond to the email HST recently received +from Majk Stokes (MS): We need to apologise as a committee for the lack of +support from his line management, including ourselves.

We considered both the timing and the appropriate structure for a +response, and concluded that:

Attempting to provide detailed written responses was neither +possible nor appropriate
That a meeting, perhaps best thought of as a threshing meeting, with the appointments panel to address the questions +as best we could was the right first step, but would need time to prepare +carefully for
Only after such a meeting would a Meeting for Clearness to help MS +look forward be appropriate
The role of the Friends asked to help someone in a Meeting for +Clearness is to listen, and to ask questions, not to answer them
Esther Shreve was mentioned as a possible person from outside the +appointments process to invite to a Clearness meeting

3. Staffing

We AGREED to continue the salary and hours uplift for the +Meeting House contract staff (MS, +Ellie Giles and Ken Latham) through November, as the new Managers will not be in +post before the middle of the month, and thereafter the responsibility for helping them learn +their new roles will fall primarily on the contract staff. +

4. Date of next meeting

TBA.
