Paper 5 Review of LOAF Membership

This document contains a review of the Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum's membership and standing orders. The Cairngorms National Park Authority wants to ensure the Forum continues to be effective and dynamic, bringing in new members while valuing existing ones. The document outlines the need for new members, the process for recruiting them, and the desired balance of representation from different sectors like land managers, community interests, recreational users and public agencies. It also discusses the length of term for members, the proceedings of meetings (including virtual and face-to-face options), and proposes minor changes to the operating procedures, including no longer having a Vice Convenor.
