following decisions about how Commissioners will work together to begin the implementation of the Strategic Plan and respond to the expectations of all its stakeholders. 5.2 Decision-making by Commissioners In order to harness the broad range of expertise of all seven Commissioners, all but the most routine policy decisions will be taken by all Commissioners, working together. Day-to-day activities which require decisions to be taken before without the opportunity for discussion by all Commissioners will be taken by the full-time Commissioners, working together, who will inform the honorary members of decisions taken at the next Commission meeting. Where these involve policy matters, the decision will be taken to the next Commission meeting for endorsement. The administration of complaints relating to human rights violations will be dealt by the two full-time commissioners. Sensitive cases will be dealt by all Commissioners during a special meeting called for that purpose. The Secretary and directors will perform day-to-day activities under the guidance of the two full-time Commissioners. 5.3 Decision-making Commissioners by Full-time Until the Commission has a strong and effective Secretariat that is independent of the Executive, some management responsibilities require to be assumed by the full-time Commissioners. These will be agreed between these two Commissioners but will reflect • Frequency of meetings – need to be more regular to ensure proper oversight of the organization as a whole, receive reports, decide overall policy etc. Meetings can be designated for different purposes. For example, the reporting process to two-monthly meetings of the Commission can continue, but meetings held on a regular basis in between for other purposes; • Delegation of particular responsibilities to Chairman and/or the Full-time Member; • How the Chairman and the Full-time Member will report on the carrying out of their delegated functions; • The collaboration with UNDP project; • Clarification on what matters should be brought to the Commission in plenary session for advice and decision, including issues related to overseas travel; • Who is responsible for overseeing the performance of the Secretary and staff; 5.4 Dealing with the media The Commission will decide in a meeting the modus operandi when dealing with the media. This will delegate responsibility for speaking to the media to appropriate commissioners while reflecting the need to ensure that media responses are undertaken promptly. A media log will be kept to record all public statements made on behalf of the Commission to ensure consistency and accountability. 67 JAMAKON
