Roles and tasks of AHBPA members
Discussion for the idea of having dedicated roles or tasks in the AHBPA such as tournament supervisor (to communicate with clubs and manage a tournament calendar and provide consistency in their running), a media liaison, a sponsorship co-ordinator (a centralised person for organising sponsorship and delegation of it's resources), etc..
The person(s) for each area may or may not be a rep, but would be given the role for a fixed term with some sort of option for renewal.
Structure, system and roles to be discussed.

I'd like to revisit this topic and progress it further. I'm now thinking that in addition to the mentioned roles, mainly the tournament head and media liaison, I also think it'd be just as important for a head of rules role to manage them and referees. Having a council supported role to work with other regions is a must.
Some one also suggested to me that we have some sort of chair or president to which I'm essentially against. They defined it as sort of like a "director". Neither NAH or EU have this role. I think that if such an idea were supported, perhaps it would simply be as a chair person or secretary - which is simply there to organise discussion, take votes and manage the topics being discussed.
As with the NAH, I don't think that these roles have to be given solely to those in the jedi council.

Further to the point above, this secretary role would have all power removed such as voting rights or should be involved in the content of the discussions, purely to comment if it's being off course etc.. i.e. non political, such as what a parliamentary speaker is supposed to be.

Given the point raised by @davidcorrin in the Club Reps thread, this is certainly something we should bring up.
I agree with @brooktaitstyles that we don't need a president, although the secretary role could end up becoming a defacto head. I would be happy to take on the secretary role were we to create one, given I drafted the rules of decisions we have and am quite far removed from the debates raging. And I don't have anywhere near the contacts in the community to turn the role into a powergrab.
I also think we can start small and work our way up. Pick a couple of roles we need, agree to them by proposal, and have them in the description at the top of the thread. We can include the occupant of the role once decided. We can add to the list in future if we see a gap. We can also create temporary roles like Dave is suggesting with LA7.

- Chairperson (or secretary)
- Media Liaison (and sponsorship)
- Tournament Planner
- Head Referee (inc Rules) ?

Ok. Let's start with those.
At the moment Loomio doesn't seem capable of running elections so we either use a work around (such as allocating a voting outcome to a candidate - e.g. agree = Dave, disagree = nick) or we do it outside Loomio.
We would also need a returning officer or two from outside the council.
