SUBJECT:
Association-wide Committee Meeting Frequency – Waiver
Requests.
In accordance with NCAA Bylaw 31.7.2.1.4 (meeting frequency),
the NCAA Executive Committee must authorize an exception to the two meetings
per year for Association-wide committees.
Accordingly, NCAA staff requested that all
Association-wide committees wishing to meet more than twice per year in person
for 2006-07 and 2007-08 were required to a submit rationale for their requests.
The Committee on Women’s Athletics and the
Postgraduate Scholarship Committee requested waivers. The rationales are presented on the attached
charts.
RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends that the Executive
Committee continue to affirm its commitment to increase the efficiency and
effectiveness of its committee structure and to grant exceptions to the two
in-person meetings per year rule for special projects only. For 2006-07 and 2007-08, the staff
recommends that the Committee on Women’s Athletics and the Postgraduate
Scholarship Committee be granted three in-person meetings.
