This means that if a specific request for disclosure is made, information that it holds must be disclosed unless non-disclosure can be justified in the terms of the Official Information Act 1982. Matters that are included in Part II and most matters in the Finance Section of Council (or Committee) meetings are protected from disclosure under the Official Information Act 1982. That is, non-disclosure of information relating to such matters can usually be justified in terms of the Official Information Act 1982. Therefore, care should be taken to ensure that papers relating to Part II or Finance Section matters are not seen outside Council (or its relevant Committee) and that such matters are not mentioned outside Council (or its relevant Committee). All requests (whether written or oral) by any person who is not a Council member for information included under Part II or the Finance Section of Council (or Committee) meetings and requests for the minutes of those parts of Council (or Committee) meetings must be referred immediately to the Registrar for decision on disclosure or otherwise. Individual members are advised not to disclose Part II or Finance Section matters. Interest: Declaration and Disqualification In accordance with the Education Act 1989 members are reminded that if they have any direct or indirect pecuniary interest (including their conditions of service as the Chief Executive or as a member of the staff of the institution) in a matter being considered or about to be considered by the Council (or Committee) then as soon as possible after the relevant facts have come to their knowledge they: (a) must disclose the nature of the interest at a meeting of the Council (or Committee); (b) must not be present during any deliberation or take part in any decision of the Council (or Committee) with respect to that matter unless the Council decides otherwise.

Professor Richard Faull, Rutherford Medallist Professor Richard Faull has been awarded the Rutherford Medal, the highest honour for New Zealand scientists, for his contributions to brain research. Professor Faull, of the Department of Anatomy with Radiology in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, has been a member of the University of Auckland for 29 years. He graduated in medicine from the University of Otago in 1970, before studying for a PhD in neuroscience at The University of Auckland, graduating in 1975. Professor Faull is recognised nationally and internationally as a leading expert on the anatomy and chemistry of the mammalian brain and on neurodegenerative diseases of the human brain. His publication record and research spans 35 years and encompasses all major regions of the brain and spinal cord, as well as the science of the diseased human brain in Huntington's, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy and schizophrenia. He has a track record of landmark publications in prestigious neuroscience journals which provide novel and important definitive new findings on the anatomy, pathology and stem cell repair in the human brain. His research provided the first evidence that the diseased human brain can repair itself by the generation of new brain cells, and in a 2007 landmark paper in Science showed for the very first time the pathway for new brain cells in the human brain.

  • Gwenda Stevens : “Jonge Arbiters Aantrekken, Onze Grootste Uitdaging.”
    Gwenda Stevens : “Jonge arbiters aantrekken, onze grootste uitdaging.” In 2017 wordt Gwenda Stevens verkozen als lid van de raad van bestuur van het BOIC, kort daarna vraagt BOIC-voorzitter Pierre-Olivier Beckers haar of ze bereid is om het voorzitterschap van de Commissie Officials op zich te nemen. “Over het aanbod om Sven Serré op te volgen, heb ik niet lang getwijfeld.” Gwenda Stevens: “Ik ben internationaal kamprechter in het roeien sinds 2004. Ik weet veel over arbitrage in het roeien maar wist toen nog niets over het voetballen bijvoorbeeld. Ik vond het een heel interessant aanbod en een boeiende job. De Commissie behartigt de belangen van iedereen die zich als official inzet voor de sport, net zoals de atletencommissie dat doet voor de atleten. Er zijn immers heel wat thema's die scheidsrechters, juryleden, toernooidirecteurs en commissarissen gemeenschappelijk hebben. Het is eigenlijk eenvoudig: “zonder officials, geen sport”. Behartigen van de rechten, belangen en plichten van olympische official De commissie heeft als doelstellingen enerzijds het behartigen van de rechten, belangen en plichten van de olympische officials en anderzijds als overlegplatform te dienen waar ‘good practices’ en ‘common interest’ gedeeld worden. Er ook gewerkt aan een deontologische code. Gwenda Stevens: “Sven Serré stond aan de wieg van dit project, hij kwam met het idee om een Commissie Officials op te richten binnen het BOIC. Er bestaan in België arbitrage projecten langs Vlaamse en langs Waalse zijde. De bedoeling van de Commissie Officials is om overkoepelend en op federaal niveau te werk te gaan. Samen ervaringen uitwisselen, samen nadenken, erkenning en herkenning geven." Om zijn doelstellingen in de praktijk om te zetten organiseert de commissie ieder jaar een forum rond een bepaald thema gericht naar Belgische officials met internationale ervaring maar eveneens naar de verantwoordelijken van de officials binnen de sportbonden en -liga’s.
