Peer review and audit are different and can be complementary. Peer review is great for helping peers do better: meeting goals, best practices, etc. Audit is to more to minimize risk: rules followed, money in the right place, etc.

Hi
After the past discussions, this seems to be something that comes up more and more often. As it currently stands, there is a gap between what Chapcom does and what happens after a Chapter's approval. There is a need for a peer-review body/system that can function/support and also hold a chapter accountable, provide support, audit and if need be, take actions to protect the rest of the movement. Let me clarify, I mean this in a democratic sense, and not in an authoritative manner where this body would be elected and composed of different chapter members every year.
I hope we can consider such an elected body composed of different chapters. I don't think an audit subcommittee would be able to provide the sort of reach that is needed here, though I see some wisdom in having an audit body itself. I would be in the interest of an elected body that might provide a comprehensive solution to chapter's need, as we expand.
Jon suggested a peer-review system in Berlin and other discussions. I don't recall any valid argument, why this is still not a good direction to consider.

I do not think that the audit committee would be the right group to conduct this. I am very much in favor of a peers evaluation (as we discussed before) because that gives less stress, and more understanding. This should also make it look less hostile. This could be part of Chapcom New Style (if re-arranged into a two tier committee for example) or a totally new thing - that is secondary.

2011/7/6 Samuel Klein meta.sj@gmail.com I imagine this being carried out by a subcommittee of the Audit Committee, as the work required seems similar. Thoughts from ChapCom members?
