**Contacting Committee Representatives**

REC Parties have nominated and elected expert industry representatives to sit on the REC Committees and make decisions with respect to REC Change Proposals and related matters. Committee Members understand the obligations and processes that apply to the REC Parties they represent.

Committee Members will establish processes for engaging with their constituencies where appropriate; however, REC Parties seeking to express support for – or oppose – decisions should do so through the formal consultations that will be issued by the Code Manager and the Committees.

A list of all appointed Committee Members and their roles can be found in the ‘Useful Documents’ section of each Committee Workspace on the REC Portal

When will papers be sent out for the REC meeting groups?

Agendas and relevant meeting papers will be uploaded to the REC Portal five working days prior to each meeting. Headline Reports summarising outcomes of business will be uploaded within two working days of each meeting, and formal minutes will be published within five working days.

Papers will be stored in the Documents library within the relevant Committee Workspace. Access to some meeting papers and minutes may be restricted to appointed Committee Members.

Portal Users who have opted to receive notifications with respect to Committee information will be advised when new documentation has been made available

When will REC meetings take place?

REC Committee meetings will ordinarily meet in accordance with the following schedule:

• REC Change Panel – First and third Tuesday of each month
• Metering Expert Panel – Second Wednesday of each month
• Performance Assurance Board – Last Tuesday of each month
• Technical Expert Panel – Last Wednesday of each month
• Green Deal Panel – as may be required

These dates are subject to change, and meetings will only be held where there is sufficient business. All meeting dates will be maintained on the calendar within the Committees area of the REC Portal

Elections and Representative Terms

REC Parties nominated and elected their industry representatives to the REC Committees in the period leading up to REC go-live. Committee Member terms start on 1 September 2021 and are expected to last two years.

When there are vacancies on the Committees, the Code Manager will contact REC Parties to identify suitable expert representatives for election.

Further details about the numbers of representatives sitting on Committees, length of term, and responsibilities of appointed Committee Members can be found in the Committee Terms of Reference found on the respective Committee Workspaces on the REC Portal.
