News & Notes 863:'Hi' from the Funds and Assets Management Committee
‘Hi’ from the Entity::Funds and Assets Management Committee
A first hello and update from the new FAMC team!
First and foremost, thank you for placing your trust in us to carry this work forward. After an orientation for the 6 new members with the three ongoing, as well as three former members, our team is busy going through the 13 page current agenda, familiarising ourselves with the pending tasks at hand and the required time input in terms of complexity, information, and overlaps with other groups. At the end of the March we're studying the work plan set up by the previous members of the FAMC and plan a facilitated session to create the next phase of it.
At the same time, we're forming new liaisons with the various working groups, both as a whole team and in smaller groups. Right now there is a focus on land related issues.
The Working Committee together with the FAMC are meeting weekly with the Land Board, to provide a time slot only dedicated to these matters. The other focus is the interaction with the BCC, and taking up the pending appeals. Certain pressing matters need to be handled straight away such as the ongoing Income Tax matter.
The new FAMC team is busy with its envisioning program, and figuring out a process which will allow for more transparency, openness and collaboration with resource people or forming support groups for certain issues. Please bear in mind that it can take a few months to settle in. If you have any feedback or suggestions re: this process please write to us at famc (at) auroville.org.in.
