Since my appointment as Operations Manager, FSA now has the capacity to get this Working Group off the ground, the initial attempt being in November 2015.
In terms of the steps that we would like to take, the following is relevant:
Step 1: Establish who would be interested in being part of such a working group.
Step 2: Draft an Agenda for the inaugural meeting.
Step 3: Hold the inaugural meeting to discuss and agree upon the terms of reference of the Working Group and a range of other matters, including appointing a Chair and Secretary and the modus operandi of the Working Group.
FSA will facilitate the holding of this inaugural meeting. This will take place in Pietermaritzburg at a date to be determined and according to the most suitable date indicated by those willing to participate in the Working Group.
Should you be interested in participating in this Working Group, please reply to francois@forestrysouthafrica.co.za with your name, company and contact details included on the attached form.
