Notes to Plenum:
(a) Please ensure that all delegates arrive no later than 10:30am. Moleben
is the official start of Plenum;
(b) Only delegates elected at their local AGMs are entitled to vote. Each
delegate represents 20 members of their Oseredok. The Head (holova) of
the Oseredok is automatically a delegate. Local Branches, which have
not managed to hold their AGM prior to Plenum, can only be represented
by their Head (holova). Non-delegates can take part in discussions and
are particularly welcome in the Working Groups Session;
(c) As always , the National Committee will use the occasion to honour
those CYM members who have been recommended by their Branch Committees
for outstanding work within their Oseredok. Such recommendations should
be sent in writing to the National Office, Tarasivka no later than the
10th April 2001, stating that what the said person is being recommended
for and why;
(d) During the Plenum there are to be three working sessions:
(i) Continuous assessment: new approach to ispyty At the XV
World CYM Congress in Toronto a start was made on introducing a new
system of awarding badges to yunatsvo. A system of continuous assessment
backed up by an optional exam (ispyt) is being proposed. A record of
achievement is about to be trialled in some of our oseredky. First impressions
will be discussed.
(ii) The future of CYM summer camps in Great Britain Last year we
saw a shortage of educators to help lead the camp programme. This is
not the first time this has happened. How do we ensure that enough that
we can attract enough people to help ensure that future camps continue
in their place?
(iii) The CYM uniform: do we need to change it? We often hear complaints
that our CYM uniform is dated and needs to be to be changed and needs
to be changed. But is there really such a demand? And if there is, what
should replace it? How do we ensure that any new uniform will be acceptable
to CYM members in every country? All delegates and guests will be asked
to sign up for one of the above working sessions. Please ensure that
your oseredok is represented in all the sessions: don't all sign up
for the same group!
(e) Unfortunately, there will be no zabava in the evening
