ANY OTHER UNRESTRICTED BUSINESS WHICH THE CHAIR CONSIDERS TO BE URGENT
To consider any other unrestricted business that the Chair considers to be urgent.
Minutes:
1) Electoral Registration and Election Arrangements report
The Chair commented that the OSC had agreed at its October meeting to include a further comprehensive report on arrangements to ensure the integrity of electoral registration and the 2014 elections in its current work programme. Officers had not indicated when the report would be presented for OSC consideration, and with the 2014 elections approaching he considered it important for the OSC to receive this report as soon as possible, to ensure proactive steps were being taken to ensure the integrity of arrangements. Therefore with OSC agreement he intended to include this report on the OSC agenda for consideration in January 2014.
2) Deferred & Outstanding Items report
The Chair commented that the OSC had requested other reports, briefing papers and information at meetings over the past year and he considered it would be helpful to receive a short “Deferred and Outstanding Items” report at future OSC meetings which allowed the OSC to track progress with its requests.
