The amendment proposed by Heriot's on governance and supported by many clubs across the country, suggests on-going discussion to provide an acceptable solution in time for the AGM in June and we concur totally with that.
We also hope to be able to announce the appointment of new non-executive directors by the middle of this week because it is important that we focus on the priorities of the game as much as possible.
The appointments, as is the case with (short-term SRU chief executive and chairman) Fred McLeod, would be on an interim basis to the AGM in June.
I believe the general committee should simply seek to work in effective management partnership with executive staff.
That does not mean a hands-on approach but working within a fully integrated structure that promotes accountability, transparency and mutual trust.
