The Executive presents:
Agenda item VIII. C. 8
I. MATERIAL
Overture from the church at Carman re: appointment to synodical committees
II. OBSERVATION
The church at Carman requests Synod to consider that appointments to the Deputies for Ecclesiastical Unity, the Committee for Relations with Churches Abroad and the Committee for Contact with the OPC be restricted to the initial appointment plus two re-appointments.

III. CONSIDERATIONS
- A. At the present time there is no rule for appointments.
- B. The suggestion by the church at Carman ensures continuity and at the same time allows for new regular change over of members.

IV. RECOMMENDATION
Synod decide to implement, as far as possible, the suggestion of the church at Carman.
