Human Resources Annual Report - 2000

Chair:		Seline Herz-Fischler

Members:	Graeme Beckett
		Miranda Gray
		Jean Wilmot


Background:

The HRC was formed in response to concerns over the performance of Executive
Director.

Description of the Committee:

The Human Resources Committee (HRC) was responsible for keeping
communication active between the Board of Directors and the Executive
Director. As well, the HRC was responsible for ensuring that the decisions
of the Board of Directors were the focus of the staff.

Activities of the Committee:

The HRC met monthly with the Executive Director.  Each meeting included
status reports, project updates, and goals for the upcoming months.
Timelines and guidelines were given to the ED to ensure that the Board of
Directors vision was met, as well as ensuring the efficient operation of
Freenet activities, especially the technical aspects such as modem
operations.

Status of the Committee:

The responsibilities of the HRC changed when the contract of the Executive
Director (ED) was terminated in November.  A decision to search for a new ED
was made in December.  The HRC is currently inactive.  The President, Graeme
Beckett, is currently acting as liaison between Staff and the Board of
Directors.   The HRC will not be reactivated unless it is requested by the
new ED or by the Board of Directors.
