Over the last year or so the Team England Committee has been discussing a way forward to propose a new Charter.
To this end we would like to present two separate documents to the English community. We will ask you to read the documents then make two separate votes to accept or reject each one.
The voting period will be from Sunday November 3rd until Sunday November 17th. You will be asked to make two separate votes at the same time.
The two documents are linked below:
Document A: Team England Basic Structures
Document B: Team England Selection Process
Document A sets out the basic mechanics of Team England over the four-year Eurobowl cycle: when key events happen, individual roles and responsibilities, who can get involved, how voting works and how the Charter will be reviewed going forward.
Document B presents a new selection method for Team England. This covers both selection for the English Eurobowl team and the English EurOpen team.
Each document would replace the corresponding sections of the 2009 Charter as follows:
A replaces sections 2.2-2.5, 2.7, 3 and 4
B replaces sections 1, 2.1, 2.6 and 2.8
The changes would come into effect immediately, however the selection changes in Document B would not apply until May 2020 i.e. for the qualification period ahead of Malta 2021. Regardless of the outcome of these votes, the Eurobowl captain for Poland 2020 will select his/her team using the current system.
It should be noted that the committee were unanimous in their decision to put Document A to community vote. The decision to present Document B was by a majority, with three in favour and two against.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The two votes will be as follows:
Vote A: to accept Document A – YES or NO
Vote B: to accept Document B – YES or NO
In each case a total YES vote of greater than 50% will be required to bring about change from the existing Charter. If the total YES vote is 50% or less then there will be no change.
If one or both of the two documents are accepted then the Charter will be rewritten accordingly, either partially or in its entirety. If neither document is accepted, we will continue with the 2009 Charter in full.
Please post if you would like to discuss anything about the documents or ask any questions about the process.
Both documents have as part of their appendix a Summary of Proposed Changes section which may be useful alongside the full detail.
Thanks
