“...2009/03 OG 4 MATTERS ARISING
4.1 Presbyterian Church of Wales
The GS reported on his pastoral visit follow-up to the Presbyterian Church of Wales (PCW) in
response to a request from the church that their Mission Support Programme (MSP) allocation be
increased to be the same amount as their Mission Programme Support Fund 2 (MPSF2)
allocation which had been declined by the Officers. He informed that the visit had been positive
and they had successfully identified other ways in which CWM could offer assistance.
4.2 Travel Policy
The Director of Operations tabled a paper updating the Officers on the history of the Travel Policy
and the work and output of the independent group who had recently reviewed the policy (TBM
Paper P3). She summarised the key changes made by the group particularly in relation to the
‘class of travel’ section of the policy explaining the rationale for the criteria set for class of travel
should be applied to all CWM travellers and not merely for frequent travellers....”

“...see the Strategy
as the general direction. The ‘plan' includes the direction as well as the details
■ Clarification of language generally, and agreement that as more than half of the TB were
new Trustees, there was a clear need to take them though the presentation carefully
and slowly and to stop often to clarify understanding during the presentation.
5.2 Theological Statement
The GS presented the background to the paper that resulted from the need to theologically
underpin the new vision and mission statements emerging from the Strategic Framework process.
He noted that it was not a Nicean-type theological statement but a living document which was an
ongoing discourse of where CWM locates itself theologically and missiologically. It would be
utilised and developed for use in Bible studies and other resources.
5.3 Management Review Report
Professor Park summarised his presentation for the Trustee Body (TB) which included the
management review process, resources used, terms of reference, context...”

“...and work style in the secretariat, consideration for a possible new model, and an introduction to
the round table ethos of management.
Key points of the discussion that ensued included:
■ Clarification of terms used in the presentation including ‘ubuntu’, which means
everything is interconnected ie I belong, therefore I am; and, ‘sangsaeng’ which conveys
the concept of mutual dependency
■ Discussion on the inclusion of Regional Mission Enabler in the management structure
■ Suggestions for inclusions in the presentation to the TB, in particular to show the
connecting points of the process and relating it to the proposed strategy
■ Clarification that the report is coming from the Officers, via the convenor of the
Management Review Group (MRG)
• Reorientation was needed for all CWM stakeholders to understand partnership and a
round table style of working
■ The need for the regional and global discussions on the subject
■ The staff contribution document which calls for more detail as an important...”

“...7.3
Succession Planning
The GS noted that whereas in normal circumstances a process would have already begun for the
recruitment for the post of Executive Secretary for Mission Education (ESME) which would be
vacant from February 2011. It was noted however, that in view of the management structure
review, recruitment for this post would not commence until clarity on the new management
structure has been established.
The GS clarified the gap that would be left following ESME’s departure at the end of January
2011. The main activities that would run were identified as the Training in Mission and the
Women and Men in Mission programmes which would be subsumed into the work of other units.
Smaller programmes were not necessarily annual events and thus would not be run in the
absence of an ESME.
It was agreed that the Officers needed to indicate to the TB that CWM would not be recruiting a
replacement for the time being, in light of the pending management review.
7.4 Change Manager
