Website Restructuring
Submitted by: Roz Frampton
I recommend, with modifications from the Assembly floor if any, that the website be the one central media source for key information and be updated to allow for various types of software to be uploaded such as PowerPoint presentations and while centrally maintained, named people should be enabled to upload information to specific areas of the website, relevant to their country or agreed areas of focus. I further recommend that the first of February, June, and October be identified as times for regions to check the accuracy of website data and to provide updates where required. The ATA should be placed on this website for the majority, and just continue to be sent out, as now, to those who cannot access the website.
RATIONALE:
Having the website as the central media source for key information facilitates efficient and effective communication across regions. Alternative methods of communication should remain for those who cannot access websites or electronic communication, such as email, telephone trees and face to face communication. The updating process by regions will reduce data being outdated.

RECOMMENDATION
Create inter-region links
Whilst people link within regions, countries, and have ‘ad hoc’ gatherings, there could be value in linking across countries (similar to different countries/towns being ‘twinned. Cross-fertilization could occur, whilst maintaining two, similar sized groups, each of which could link with one ICC (if two ICC). Each group could be subdivided, whilst including different countries and regions. This way, each ICC links across countries/continents, rather than emphasizing geographical differences and potentially growing further apart over the years. This way also enables ICC members to share expertise across boundaries, enhancing cultural awareness, which can increase across countries and within countries, so we learn from each other, even if we express our calling in different ways within our own culture.

RECOMMENDATION
Redefine the ICC job description
I recommend, with modifications from the Assembly floor if any, that the ICCs divide responsibilities across continents, rather than by continent.
