1. The Nominations Committee heard the concerns raised in the plenary and has seriously considered each proposal for change which was received. Following considerable discussion, however, we are able to recommend only a few changes to Doc. NC 02.1.
2. In light of the discussion in the plenary about increasing youth participation, we hoped that the Committee would receive a number of replacement youth nominations. However this turned out not to be the case: only one church made such a recommendation. In addition we were informed that one delegate marked as youth was actually over 30, and we agreed to replace one youth with a woman because that church had been represented during the previous period by a youth. The net result, therefore, is one less youth than in the first slate proposed. Needless to say, the Committee is deeply disappointed in this outcome.
