## Committee Development
### Large Committee
We have had twelve titled committee members and two OCM's during this Academic Year.
On top of that we had seven Advisors who are previous committee members.
As outlined last year having Advisors is extremely important in our society due to the large amount of domain knowledge required to run both the society and the computer cluster.
Due to the type of society we are we tend to have unique events on a weekly basis, being able to draw upon the wisdom of the elders helps keeps things running smoothly.
We have the full quota of core positions:
* President
* Secretary
* Treasurer
* Public Relations Officer (PRO)
* Health and Safety Officer
The Skynet team has one Head Systems Administrator and two members in training.
In the next year or two it is hoped that oen of those will replace the current Head Sysadmin.
Throughout this academic year, there were no major grievances other than the resignation of 2 committee members, our Health & Safety Officer and our Assistant PRO, we replaced the HSO in an AGM and the Assistant PRO's duties were split amongst our Events officer and the incoming HSO by mutual agreement.
### Documentation
All handover documents have been submitted except those from our advisors,
who do not provide handover documents. All minutes have also been submitted.
This year we are trialling a new system called [Open Governance][0] where much of the background work is made available for our members to view (including these points submissions).
It also serves as a long term archive of events, handover documents and minutes going forward.
### Administration
During the Academic Year, we have held a committee meeting almost every week, that usually lasts between an hour to an hour and a half.
The Secretary (and President on occasion) took down minutes for the meeting.
For bank statements, any that we received throughout the academic year were uploaded to wolves, though we stopped getting them after semester one despite checking the post regularly.
For dealing with money, there was a delay in getting access to the bank account again, though this was rectified in the later half of semester 2 and all creditors are now paid up.
