For information on the
formation of the Central Committee, refer to pare 4. The central committee in section 2 the social structures of the fourth block the structures to
be created
Refer
to the analyses made on the central committee, in the division of tasks in section 2 division of
tasks amongst the three project levels of the third block solutions
to the problems.
Carefully read articles 10-15 of the statutes of the Cooperative
Association for the on-going management of the project structures of
theModel.
Articles 10-15 are about the
Central Committee meetings.
Article 12 reads :
“Article
12: The Central Committee represents the Association. It may delegate some of
its tasks to a general management which it elects and the activities of which
it controls.”
This means the central committee is not
obliged to name a General Management team. It may decide to delegate some tasks
to the management and keep others under its own control.
1. Opinion.
On one page discuss the advantages and the disadvantages of nominating a
general management structure. What is your opinion on this issue ?
Article 11 of the statutes provide :
“Article
11: The Central Committee elects one of its members Chairman for a period of
three years, and a secretary who may be nominated for a full period of three
years or on the occasion of each meeting.”
Suppose your project area has 37 boreholes. Each
well commission appoints a representative to the central committee. The Central
Committee (the project «Parliament » ) would therefore have 37 members.
2. Research.
On one page use your personal knowledge on the organisation of meetings
according to the laws of your country and give a detailed description on how
the first Chairperson of the Association would be elected.
Article 10 of the statutes provides that one of the tasks of the central
committee is to : “Decide on any problems which is not expressly the
responsibility of the management or any other organ of the association.”
Another is the “Resolve all litigation
relating to the project.” The committee is free to carry out this task at
plenary meetings. Or it may choose to elect a sub-committee for the purpose
.
The structures of integrated development
projects do not replace formal judicial or administrative structures in project
areas. The issue in question are those relating the project management. While
project agreements cannot exclude the jurisdiction of the courts where the
projects take place, there is, usually, freedom to decide to try to reach a
settlement within the project management structures before proceeding to formal
action in the courts. Parties to litigation within the framework of project
structures are always free to appeal to the courts.
The fourth block of the course is about the structures to
be created.
The structures cited include:
3. Research.
Working structure by structure, on one page, identify at least one typical cause of
conflict which would be «naturally» settled by the Central Committee or
its delegate, subject always to the possibility of the parties to appeal to the
courts..
4. Opinion.
Do you think that an «internal » litigation procedure would have
advantages for the parties involved and/or for the country where the integrated
project is being executed ? Provide a one page opinion.
5. Opinion.
No provision is made for the delegation of the settlement of disputes to
the General Management. On one page explain the reasons for this. You might
think amongst other things of the risk of favouritism (Management has few members and is not
representative) and the possibility that the General Management itself be a party to the procedure, or that the
General management be in a position of conflict of interest.
