230623CNPABdPaper3StandingOrdersAmendments

This document contains a request for the Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) board to approve changes to its Standing Orders, which are the rules for how the board operates. These changes include removing COVID-19 related governance arrangements and adjusting how quorums (the minimum number of members needed for a meeting to proceed) are calculated for both the board and its committees, to reflect the actual number of board members in place. The proposed amendments also address procedures for electing the Convener, Deputy Convener, and Committee Chairs.
