Why We Need a Drafting Committee for the Next Strategic Plan

• Background

▫ The latest “Strategic Planning- Process Guide for Working Groups” from SCE3 held at Sep. 2011 has agreed that:

“When everyone participates in the strategic planning stages, all will work harder

to carry out the plans and projects. APEC can't buy or outsource this

ki d f ti ti l i t t d ki l d hi t

kind of motivational interest, and working group leadership must

be an integral part of such vital activities. Therefore, the strategic

planning process should include a variety of people from the working group to

participate in any brainstorming sessions, including key stakeholders from private

and public sectors among member economies if that is possible.”

Deputy Chair of SMEWG Deputy Chair of SMEWG

Assessment :‐

Question :

Do we need a Deputy Chair for SMEWG Meetings ?

SMEWG Chair’s View – No need to formalise a Deputy Chair position. Chair can decide if a Deputy Chair is needed and would be responsible for identifying the suitable Economy or to approach the incoming Chair as Deputy.

For SMEWG endorsement.

For SMEWG’s Discussion and Decision
