Minute 37: Membership of Meeting for Sufferings: General Meeting for Scotland and
Meeting of Friends in Wales
We receive minute 16 of Meeting for Sufferings held 2 December 2006 as follows:
General Meeting for Scotland and Meeting of Friends in Wales.
Further to our minute 11 of 2 September 2006 and minute 8 b) today, the Assistant
Recording Clerk has introduced proposals for the administrative support for and
representation on Meeting for Sufferings of General Meeting for Scotland and Meeting of
Friends in Wales (paper S 06/12/ I). Minute MSC 06/128 of Meeting for Sufferings
Committee held 9 November 2006 refers.
We agree in principle, and recommend to Yearly Meeting 2007, that both General Meeting
for Scotland and Meeting of Friends in Wales should be represented on Meeting for
Sufferings. We unite with Meeting for Sufferings Committee’s recommendation that this
should be implemented on an interim basis following Yearly Meeting 2007 by inviting
General Meeting for Scotland and Meeting of Friends in Wales each to nominate up to two
Friends as their representatives. These arrangements should be included in the review of
the size and composition of Meeting for Sufferings for the triennium commencing in 2009.
We also agree that financial support for administrative costs should be provided to General
Meeting for Scotland as well as to Meeting of Friends in Wales. We ask Management
Meeting to bring proposals for accommodating this in the 2007 budget to Britain Yearly
Meeting Trustees. We suggest that this financial support be reviewed in 2009.
Rachel Carmichael, clerk
We approve these arrangements. Planning of the reviews will be included in the planning of
other reviews described in minute 28.
