260610 Paper 1- Election of a new convener

This document contains a proposal for the Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum to decide on its Convener. Members need to choose one of three options: elect a new Convener, extend the current Convener John Greison's term by one year (which would require an exception to the usual six-year membership limit, proposing to extend it to seven years for members recruited before 2024), or have the Park Authority chair the next two meetings until a new Convener is appointed. The document also outlines the detailed method for electing a Convener, which involves members proposing themselves, a secret ballot with a scoring system, and specific tie-breaking procedures. The term of office for a Convener is typically three years after the initial term.
