Motion 2001:25 -To add to Policy the Duties & Requirements of the Human Resource Panel (HRP) members.
"The HRP is a panel of 2 members who coordinate between each other to draw from the Ohio Regional Pool members to fulfill tasks throughout the Ohio Region."
"HRP Qualifications: 4 years clean, has previous service service experience, has the appropriate resources to fulfill the tasks (ie. having transportation, using a phone, using a mailing address, having internet access (which is not a must, but definitely a plus). Also that member needs an understanding and knowledge of the 12 Traditions and the 12 Concepts."
"HRP Terms: They would be 2-year terms and would alternate so there would be one member from the previous year to provide continuity."
"HRP Organization: They would compile and organize all the Regional Pool resumes. They would organize this into categories of abilities in alphabetical order. Both members of HRP would have copies of all the Regional Pool resumes. They would treat all resumes with confidentiality."
"The Regional Pool is a body of people we may draw from to fulfill a task. They must have the willingness and experience to be of service to the Ohio Region."
Intent - To provide proper description and qualification of the HRP members.
Maker - Jeff C., MVASCNA RCM
Pro - To move forward with the restructuring of the Region.
Con - <There were no cons to this motion.>

Motion 2001:20 should have gone back to the groups, but didn't. The RCM's decided to go ahead and vote their conscience. Here is the motion and the results:PASSED (6-0-1)

Each area can pass their hosting opportunity. If an area passes or accepts, they need to submit this 2 years prior to the event.
