What is the definition of PU experience. Does it have to be a former or current board member? Or can it be someone who has worked in a PU, a former club delegate with high-level business experience? Where is the bar?
-
Reflecting on this, the requirement for PU involvement in the past seems to indicate the PU don't trust the external board appointments. Possibly summed up that they didn't trust the conclusions of the Pilkington review.
Proposal 1 was clearly rejected by the PU, and Proposal 2 clearly adopted.
It's done now. I think a step forward; time will tell how good or bad it is.

Now we see whether the NZRPA have the balls to follow through.

Agree. And maybe for good reason
It's a shame our media is so poor. I haven't got time to look into all of this in depth but who do you trust to do a good impartial comparison
Is this right
Do people actually read and understand the report and the two proposals - or do they just rely on self-interested misinformation from particular parties? The two proposals were and are virtually identical in all material ways - the differences are minor. Proposal #2 represents a major step away and forward from the existing structure. We should all be embracing it and ignoring the self-interested detractors.Or this
A sad day for NZ Rugby, unfortunately the PU's are fighting for survival, and banding together to make a stand. The future of the game looked dire before this decision, and now it's even worse, if that's possible. -

Reading proposal 2 now:
d. That the NZRB must collectively have sufficient rugby knowledge and expertise relating to rugby at all levels of the game in New Zealand, including specific knowledge relating to the governance of community/provincial rugby. In order to satisfy this criterion, as it relates to community and provincial rugby at least three members of the NZRB who have served on the Board of a New Zealand Provincial Rugby Union.

I've been unimpressed with RN. He really should consider his position. So the NZRPA can find a better leader. Who, rather than reverting to threats talks to people etc. Rob seem to belong to a different era

No Stakeholder council, but a GAP with a non-voting external chair. The PUs will have 3/7 votes so they only need one more person to block or control this panel (edit: for example, assuming they can influence the Maori rugby board appointment, they could control this panel). This body appoints 3/6 members of the appointments panel.
A new body named the Governance Advisory Panel (GAP) will be established.
The GAP will be formed annually, and will be made up of representatives of the following stakeholder groups:
a. Three representatives of Provincial Unions, being one Heartland Championship representative, and two NPC Union representatives, with the Provincial Unions to run their own process to determine their representatives.
b. One representative of the New Zealand Māori Rugby Board.
c. One representative of the foundation New Zealand Super Rugby Clubs (Blues, Chiefs, Hurricanes, Crusaders and Highlanders), with NZR to call for nominations and, if more than 1 is received, to undertake a postal ballot to select the successful nominee. Nominees can be a Super Rugby Club Board member or senior manager.
d. One representative of the body representing professional rugby players in New Zealand (currently the NZ Rugby Players Association).
e. One representative of Tausoa Fa’atasi NZR Pasifika Advisory Group (or independent Pasifika Rugby entity recognised by NZR and the Affiliated Bodies, if one is formally established in future).
f. One independent Chair who will be appointed by the members of the GAP in conjunction with NZR, who will be remunerated by NZR, and who will be non-voting.
g. The GAP may agree by way of a majority to add other stakeholders to the GAP.The GAP will:
b. select 3 members of the ARP for the AGM NZRB appointment process. For the avoidance of doubt, the 3 members selected for the ARP are not required to be members of the GAP.

Hold on, here is a interesting one too. What the below could mean is that the GAP could revise the skills and competencies framework for the board so that more (or less) of them need certain experiences (i.e., we could go to needing 6/9 with PU experience or 1/9). This body will be incredibly powerful so think about how it could be captured if the PUs can get one more person to join them.
The 3/7 PU GAP will also:
a. review annually the updates to the Skills and Competencies Framework and the Needs and Priorities Statement (the SCF documents) proposed by the NZRB. NZRB will present the SCF documents to the GAP for discussion. The GAP will review the SCF documents, and make additional or alternative suggestions if necessary. Any updates required to be made to the SCF documents, proposed by the GAP, requires agreement by way of a majority of the GAP. For clarity, the GAP will have the final approval and sign off of the SCF documents, being the Skills and Competences Framework and the Needs and Priorities statement.

Prop 1 was Pilkington

It will be interesting to see if there is a bit of a divide between the provinces that supported different proposals.

As reported the the NZHerald live feed. Nice to see some constructive talk from a leading player that's not essentially Rob Nichol taking the NZRPA ball and going home.
Blues captain Patrick Tuipulotu responds to Proposal 2 being voted in
“I’m a bit disappointed,” he said.“But it’s for the future of rugby, whatever we decide, we have to do it together.
“From here on out, the conversation has to be open. Although Proposal 1 didn’t go through, we have to work together to try and get to where we want to.”

Or more importantly, within SR franchises. That appears to be the case at the Chiefs (Waikato/Taranaki vs BOP). I've no idea how CM voted.
