| 1. Vice-Chairman It was agreed to delay consideration of the appointment of a Vice– Chairman until all Members' views could be considered. |
|
| 2. Future Meetings The next meeting of the Sub-Panel was scheduled for 12th July, 2pm, Le Capelain Room. It was agreed that priority would be given to arranging an informal background information meeting with the Chief Executive of Digital Jersey and the Chairman of its Education and Skills Technical Action Group, to better understand the current and potential size and nature of the industry, and the organisation's liaison with the Education, Sport and Culture Department and its input, if any, into the new IT Skills Strategy. | TO |
515/28 | 3. Conflict of Interest The Chairman informed the Sub-Panel that he had been invited to attend the Jersey Chamber of Commerce Digital Business Committee's initial meeting on Wednesday 17th July, with a view to becoming a member of that Committee. It was agreed that whilst the Chairman should attend the meeting to explain the intended work of the Sub-Panel and to make contacts that might be useful during the Review, it would not be appropriate for him to join the Committee until after the Sub-Panel's work had been completed, to avoid any perception of a potential conflict of interest. It was noted that further meetings with the Committee during the Review may be of benefit, but on such occasions the Chairman (or delegated Member) would appropriately be accompanied by the Sub- Panel's Officer. |
