[QUOTE="Ospervat, post: 828249, member: 72942"] Thanks Saulan • Permitting 74% shareholdings in commercial arms of rugby unions by private equity partners. == As long as it doesn't become another corrupt scheme for the tjommies to line their pockets with kick backs and bribes. If the investment doesn't make its way to the players and their retention for the domestic game - then it's all for nothing. • Increasing the make-up of the independent and player representation on the Executive Council to five independents with six elected members. == I guess to pass a motion they only need 50% so elected members will still make up the majority votes and they will be responsible for the appointment of the CEO and coach. I agree with a more balanced exec and I guess this goes some way towards that - just hope the independents and player rep are untouchable. • Introducing new committees for franchise (Vodacom Super Rugby) and non-franchise rugby to focus and streamline decision making. == Finally some good news - definitely a more co-ordinated approach needed. • Moving responsibility for the appointment of the Springbok coach and CEO from the General Council to the Executive Council. == Good result - though elected hold the power and may be swayed by self preservation and easily coerced to do the political bidding of others. • Removing the selection committee while retaining a selection convenor to work with national team coaches. == I suspect this is designed to keep the political agenda on track regarding targets 2019. • Aligning with the country’s geopolitical boundaries by moving to nine members of SA Rugby, while retaining 14 playing unions == Agree the larger unions need greater say over smaller unions. • Reducing the presidential roles from three to two by removing the vice presidency from 2018 == To what end? I don't have a problem with this - I just fail to see any direct or indirect benefits re "state of play" [/QUOTE]
