The TDG Advisor 2
Finding the advisors
In the first part of this series, I described how the TDG advisors will be sources of new perspectives for the elected TDG bodies. With these new perspectives, the elected side of the TDG will be making enhanced decisions.
A likely next question is: “Where do these advisors come from?”
The TDG Constitution
The constitution will provide rules for the advisory board. These rules will include the number of advisory tiers, the number of advisors in each tier, and the responsibilities for the advisors.
As well, the TDG constitution will stipulate that the top elected tier appoints the advisors to the top advisory tier.
The top advisory tier then appoints advisors to the next tier (down). And that tier appoints its advisors to the next tier down.
Ideally, advisors should have some experience on the elected side of the TDG, especially for the top advisory tier. When the top elected tier is making the appointment for the top advisory tier, it can draw from these sources:
1. An elected member of the current top elected tier
2. An elected member from a lower tier
3. A long-serving TDG member, who is no longer elected.
