  3. Is the meeting’s committee structure appropriate for the size of the meeting?
  4. Do the meeting’s committees have clearly defined responsibilities?
  5. Do the committees function in ways that fulfill these responsibilities?
  6. Does each committee receive a budget adequate to enable it to fulfill its responsibilities?
  7. Do committees report regularly to the meeting?
  8. Are committees laid down if they are no longer essential to the life of the meeting?
  9. Is there broad representation of meeting members and attenders in the work of meeting committees? Does the meeting have a plan to increase participation in committee activities when active participation of members and attenders declines?
