Roger PHILLIPS

Secretary of the House of Keys From: Daphne Caine Sent: 26 January 2018 13:09:31 To: Roger Phillips Cc: Bill Shimmins Chief Minister Martyn Perkins Jonathan King Subject: nomination for Legislative Council - Mrs Jane Poole-Wilson Importance: Normal Attachments: Jane Poole-Wilson.jpg ;JPPW biog January 2018.pdf ;

Dear Roger

I would like to propose Mrs Jane Poole-Wilson for one of the vacancies on the Legislative Council.

Bill Shimmins MHK has agreed to second her nomination, which is supported by Howard Quayle MHK and Martyn Perkins MHK.

Since her election to the Legislative Council in May 2017, Jane has taken an active and constructive role in Legislative Council business, particularly the detailed and considered scrutiny of legislation. Likewise, she has engaged positively with Tynwald scrutiny and debate, particularly in her various Committee roles. As Chair of the recently formed Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs and Justice, Jane has been able to use her legal experience and skills to input into the Committee’s initial focus on scoping its work programme. As a member of the Select Committee on Library provision, she has enjoyed and been committed to thorough and detailed research to gain an evidence based understanding of the issues and challenges our libraries face.

As Equality Champion, Jane has worked with energy and commitment to fulfil her brief and to that end has directly engaged with Honourable Members, officers in Government Departments, businesses, third sector organisations and individuals, to help raise awareness of the Equality Act 2017 and to support work on its implementation in line with the Programme for Government.

In addition, Jane has worked with several Honourable Members on particular issues, often involving matters raised by members of the public, and she has continued her voluntary roles at a Trustee of St Christopher’s Isle of Man and Parent Governor at Marown School.

Manx born and raised, Jane’s professional qualification as a solicitor and career as an employment lawyer and HR training specialist, as well as her experience as Isle of Man Legal Aid Deputy Certifying Officer, mean she has skills and experience she has been readily able to put to demonstrable positive use in her work so far as a Member of the Legislative Council. This and her ongoing drive, hard work, commitment and enthusiasm for the Isle of Man, I believe, strongly support her re-election to the Upper Chamber. I attach Jane’s biography for more information along with a photo, if wanted.

Kind regards

Daphne

Public service

From: Ashford, David (MHK) Sent: 30 January 2018 16:45 To: Roger Phillips Cc: Ray Harmer; Tim Baker; Ann Corlett Subject: Legislative Council nomination Cllr John Skinner

Dear Roger,

I wish to propose Councillor John Skinner as a candidate for the forthcoming Legislative Council vacancy. Ann Corlett MHK has agreed to second and the nomination is assented to by Hon. Ray Harmer MHK and Tim Baker MHK.

John has a long record of public service having served on Douglas Council for the six years as well as during that time completing a very successful year representing the people of Douglas as Mayor. John also served on the Planning Committee for a decade and served four years on the Health Consultative Committee and therefore already has an understanding of how government works and has allowed him to develop the scrutiny and analytical skills that the role requires.

John had a long and successful 30 year career in the Fire Service which allowed him to develop his communication and organisational skills.

I believe that in light of the above John would be asset to Legislative Council and I attach a more detailed CV.

ADDRESS: 6 Berkeley Street Douglas Isle of Man IM2 3QA

DATE OF BIRTH: 06.08.50

CURRENT: As an elected member of Douglas Borough Council since 2012 I represent Murrays Ward through which I currently have a public mandate. Following the 2011 General Election where I failed to gain a seat in West Douglas I stood in the 2012 Local Authority General Elections standing in the Douglas Council Murrays Ward where I topped the poll by nearly 100 votes and was successfully returned in 2016.

Currently I am a member of the Council’s Housing Committee, Standards Committee of which I am vice chairman and the new created Consultation Group who review the Government’s Public Consultation Documents prior to them being discussed by the Executive Committee of the Council. I was previously prior to my becoming Mayor the Chairman of the Regeneration and Community Committee which also gave me a seat on the Executive Committee.

For the Municipal Year 2016 / 17 I was unanimously elected to be the Mayor of Douglas presiding over Council Meetings and attending virtually every meeting of the Council’s various committees. In all during the Municipal Year I attended over four hundred engagements and meetings.

MARITAL STATUS: I am married to Gill (nee Quine), (a retired police officer), who was a member of the Education Council prior to which she served two years under the old Board system. She also works part-time for Cruse Bereavement Care as the Young Peoples Services Manager working with bereaved children offering counselling, support and advice in the Island’s schools.

I was married in 1972 to Elizabeth (nee Callow), who developed and suffered for many years with primary sclerosing cholangitis. She sadly passed away in a Birmingham hospital during 1999 awaiting a liver transplant.

Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service - Breathing Apparatus Course Breathing Apparatus Maintenance Course Turntable Ladder Operator Hydraulic Platform Operator Fire Prevention Refresher Fire Safety Legislation Personnel Management Station Management Human Behaviour Human Psychology

Isle of Man Government - Discipline at Work Drafting Legislation IT Skills

EDUCATIONAL PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS: I was educated at Murray’s Road School and Douglas High School for Boys.

All Fire Service Statutory Examinations (National Home Office Approved) passed. In 1981 I became a Graduate of the Institute of Fire Engineers (G.I.Fire E.).

National Vocational Qualifications: D32 Assess Candidate Performance D33 Assess Candidate Performance Using Diverse Evidence. These qualifications and my role and responsibilities as a Station Officer within the Fire Service have been acknowledged in National Curriculum Framework as equivalent to Management Level 3 and NVQ Level 4 or ‘A’ Level pass.

EMPLOYMENT DETAILS: On leaving school I worked for five years in Gelling’s Foundry Ltd initially as an apprentice ironmonger later training to become an Aga Fitter.

I joined the Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service as a Fireman on 22 June 1970 rising through the ranks to Station Officer before retiring on 5 August 2000.

In August 1973 I attended the Summerland fire in which tragically over fifty people lost their lives. I was regularly Officer in Charge at various major incidents and over many years I attended numerous incidents including major fires, road traffic accidents, ship fires and fire investigations sometimes resulting in being called to give evidence in the Coroner’s Court.

I often attended many minor incidents which may have been viewed as an everyday occurrence by many; however, I was always aware that to the householder or pet owner that it was a serious and traumatic experience and was always conscious of their feelings and the need for reassurance.

OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE: From the ranks of Leading Fireman to Station Officer I was responsible for the management of ‘Watches’ on Douglas Fire Station. As “Watch Commander” I was responsible for the routine administration and day to day running of a ‘Watch’ including the welfare of its members and carrying out and supervising training of personnel in various areas previously identified. Additionally I was responsible for development and training of fire fighters in the specialised and complex methods of fighting fires on board ships. This course also included instruction in sea survival techniques the training for which was carried out in Douglas Harbour and at sea.

FIRE SAFETY DEPARTMENT: As a Fire Safety Inspecting Officer I regularly carried out inspections under the Fire Precautions Act in premises requiring Fire Certificates including hotels and places of public entertainment. This also included the writing of reports and the issuing of statutory notices requiring essential fire safety work to be carried out.

Fire safety inspections in new and existing office and retail premises and the inspection and registration process of flats were carried with Inspectors from the Department of Environmental Health. During this period I was involved in the drafting of the Fire Precautions (Flats) Regulations 1996.

I regularly attended the Planning Department to examine and comment on many major Planning Applications. This opportunity gave me an invaluable overview of Department’s day-to-day running, staffing, workload and an insight into some procedural matters.

I have carried out staff training sessions in most of the Island’s Nursing / Residential Homes, Government Departments and Primary Schools and was responsible for the introduction of ‘Welephant’ and ‘Blaze Bear’ (the children’s fire safety mascots) to the Island.

OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION I was brought up in a very much voluntary service environment. My parents were both actively involved with the St John Ambulance Brigade and a local charitable organisation. Together my parents encouraged my siblings and me to join the St John Cadets at an early age and through this I carried out many hours of public duty at many local sporting and other events. My father was the Cadet Superintendant for many years. It was probably the result of gaining a Fire-fighting Badge in the St John that sparked my interest in making the Fire Service a full time career.

For the majority of my Fire Brigade service I was Secretary of the Fire Service National Benevolent Fund and a member of the National Council. This role involved responsibilities of a highly confidential nature including means tested grant payments, assistance to Service Widows or Orphans, organising travel to rehabilitation centres and many other welfare-related issues. I received an Award of Recognition for this in 1997; however, providing the help and assistance to my colleagues and their families in times of great need was a reward in itself.

From 1981 until 2009 I was a member of the organising committee for the Manx National Rally which was a round of three UK National Rally Championships. The event is held annually in May and until I stepped down I had been Clerk of the Course for twenty five years. My role within the organising committee involved much of the administration including route preparation; time scheduling, drafting and preparing regulations for the event as well as liaising with various Government Departments and local authorities. During the Rally I had the absolute and overall responsibility for its safe and smooth running in accordance with the law and the statutory regulations as laid down.

At the time of my taking over as Clerk of the Course the event was in a financial deficit situation. Following a meeting with and heeding the comments of the then Minister of Tourism, and together with a newly appointed Treasurer we were able to successfully turn around the fortunes of the Rally and run it for over twenty years without direct financial support from the Department of Tourism and with considerable financial benefit to the economy of the Isle of Man. I was instrumental in securing sponsorship for the event from major international companies such as Steyr-Daimler-Puch, Roush Technologies and RBS International for the event.

Additionally I was a member of the Organising Committee and Clerk of the Course for the Manx International Rally between 1994 and 1999. This event was a part of the both British and European Rally Championships.

In 1985 I was appointed as a Steward by the Motor Sports Association, which is the governing body for all motor sport within the United Kingdom. This appointment involves attending various motor sport events both on and off the Island on behalf of the MSA to observe and file reports report confirming that the event has been run safely, legally and in accordance with their Regulations. As an MSA Steward I have the power to stop an event which I may consider to be unsafe or not being run in accordance with the Regulations and justify my actions. Additional duties include the hearing of any protests and appeals which may arise.

From 1989 to 2003 I was Chairman of the Manx National Youth Band and was regularly responsible for the welfare and safety of the young people throughout their many trips to the UK, Europe and beyond.

In November 2002 I was appointed to and served for ten years as a Lay Member to the Isle of Man Government’s Planning Committee which can be challenging but always enjoyable and gives an opportunity to make a difference to the environment, people and future planning of our island. This involves being familiar with legislation and various planning guidelines, including the Island’s Strategic Plan. Considering and making fair, unbiased and balanced decisions having taken into account all the comments from the Planning Officers, applicants and third parties.

From October 2005 I served for four years as a member of the Health Services Consultative Committee along with six medical professionals and five other lay members. This allowed debate and discussion on many and varied subjects relating to health matters including the Second Opinion Information Leaflet, fluoridation of the Island’s water supply and even the “Lunchbox Survey”.

As you can imagine I am fully supportive of organ retrieval and transplantation. Whilst this is an emotive subject I would like to see a heightened awareness of this programme. Through my involvement in motorsport I actively encouraged competitors, officials and spectators to sign up to the National Organ Donor Register and in doing so raised over £12,000 for a small charity in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, to help with research into liver disease and transplant methods. As a point of interest one is more likely to become an organ recipient than a donor.

LEISURE AND HOBBIES: In 2010 I became involved with a local theatre company (Taylorian Productions) as a backstage assistant on the very successful production of Lionel Bart’s “Oliver”. I also enjoy spending time with my close and extended family and friends. My hobbies are varied and include walking, reading, I’d like to play more golf, eating out, travel, theatre, popular and classical music and local and international current affairs. I also own a 1964 Austin Cooper S which I have spent some time restoring and making road worthy.

From: Edge, Julie (MHK) Sent: 31 January 2018 16:02 To: '[email protected]' Cc: Allinson, Alex (MHK); Bettison, Clare (MHK); Corlett, Ann (MHK) Subject: Legislative Council Prospective Candidate

Dear Roger

I would like to nominate Dawn Joughin for one of the vacancies on the Legislative Council.

Dr Alex Allinson MHK has agreed to second her nomination, which is supported by Clare Bettison MHK and Anne Corlett MHK.

Dawn was educated on the Island. She is a qualified lawyer, who has specialised in private client law for 16 years. Her legal background means she is experienced in reading and interpreting legislation. She also understands the commercial realities of a business environment having run a successful legal department.

I have known Dawn for many years. She has two Manx born sons, and two grandchildren who are at school in the Island.

Dawn is warm and empathetic, which has helped in both her legal career; in the work she has undertaken acting on behalf of vulnerable adults through the Court of Protection, and in the voluntary roles she has undertaken as a Charity trustee for Age UK Mid Mersey, and as a School Governor.

Dawn also has experience of working within the Isle of Man Government and is conversant with creation of policy and legislation within the Government setting.

Her volunteer roles, mean Dawn is experienced in working in committee and reporting back to a governing body.

I believe her personal qualities, academic abilities and legal background, make her an ideal candidate for Legislative Council.

Kind regards

Julie

I have been lucky enough to live in ten countries over the years which has taught me to appreciate the quality of life we have here and to be open-minded about people’s differing perspectives. I believe this is critical to the healthy functioning of Tynwald.

I am proud of my Manx heritage that can be traced back many generations and, more than anything, I want to see the Isle of Man prosper. With this in mind, I am currently leading a project to launch a new domestic bank for the Crown Dependencies to ensure security of supply of critical financial services and support the new economy.

Isle of Man. Giving you freedom to flourish Kate Lord-Brennan [Address] [Telephone] | [Email]

Dear Honourable Member,

I would like to put myself forward as a candidate for the Legislative Council and hope you might consider the following about me.

I can offer a good mix of skills and experience, an eye for detail and breadth of perspective, which I feel would help me contribute significantly to Tynwald.

In the past, I have passionately championed entrepreneurship, business networks and more recently, policy on early years education. My links with government over 10 years means I have gained some insight in that time and have a proven track record.

Summary

• I hold a degree in European Union Studies with Law (including International Relations, Social Policy and Family Law) so I am comfortable with getting into detail and have a specialism that can be called upon as we seek to future-proof legislation.

• I can deal with complex issues, apply analysis and ask probing questions. I have shown ability to scrutinise, write effectively and take the role as the “critical friend” in my previous work and as a member of the OFT statutory board, where I’ve also given input into pre-drafting instructions and principles for legislation.

• I can take a long-term view and seek quality information. I have company board experience, training in strategic planning and thinking, corporate governance (IOD & ICSA), marketing research (CIM), communication and stakeholder engagement.

• My interest in innovation, process and efficiency means that I am drawn to pursuing change and improvement.

• Proven ability to research, provide advocacy and look for latest thinking and best practice further afield, which is helpful for anticipating issues that will inform debate, decision making and point to sensible ways forward. I have done this in my work with start-up businesses, economic development policy and education policy (my paper and talk on Reception Admission for Summer Born Children).

• As founder and chair of a business network for women, I experienced working collaboratively to address the needs of a group that did not feel represented or engaged.

• I am used to working independently and pro-actively, having run my own businesses and provided various support for start-up ventures. I am able to give a commercial perspective, take a big picture view and have experience working in a consultative and advisory role.

• My association with government over a period of 10 years means I have background awareness and some insight into government and Tynwald as well as various processes and challenges.

I would be glad of the chance to contribute and would work diligently. I include supporting detail in my CV to follow.

Yours faithfully,

Kate Lord-Brennan

Dear Roger

I would like to propose Mrs Kerry Sharpe as a candidate for the Legislative Council. Martyn Perkins MHK has agreed to second Kerry’s nomination. Tim Baker MHK and Bill Shimmins MHK are her assenters.

Along with her strong, Manx roots and her wide experience in the world, Kerry has honed her naturally-enquiring nature within a competitive and sort-after media industry.

Having known Kerry for years and being aware of her deep sense of fairness, transparency and justice, I believe she has the skills to make a positive contribution to the Legislative Council and Tynwald.

Best wishes Ralph

Dear Honourable Members,

I would like the opportunity to join the Legislative Council because I believe I have skills which could benefit that chamber.

I am proud of the Isle of Man. My ancestors have lived here since at least the fourteenth century and I would like the opportunity for my skills to be used for the good of the people of this island.

Throughout my career, I have directed and produced world-class investigative documentaries for the BBC which have given me the following skills:

• Rapid, in-depth researching – leaving no stone unturned • Presenting complex information in a clear and concise form • Listening properly • Forensic attention to detail.

In addition, I have a strong sense of social justice and a proven track record in achieving my goals, often against the odds.

I trust you will consider my nomination for the Legislative Council. I know you are all busy but if you have any time – however short – I would be grateful if you can contact me to arrange a time to meet.

Yours sincerely

Dear Honorable Members,

Re: LegCo Elections 2018

I set out below an outline of my relevant experience and reasons why I feel motivated to put my name forward for your consideration in the above elections.

Having worked in the private sector as a Chartered Architect for ten years, my subsequent professional career was spent in public service both as the Island’s ﬁrst Building Conservation Oﬃcer and, latterly, working in Local Authority Housing and Property Management.

Experience and knowledge gained in all these roles has been invaluable and ranged from drafting, interpreting and applying Policy and Legislation, to initiating and procuring major Capital Projects. I also worked with those in housing need including our increasing elderly population and found this work to be not only demanding, but humbling and rewarding.

I served ten years as Trustee with Manx Lottery Trust, being Chairman for my last three years and currently I am a Member of the All-Island Planning Committee.

On a more relaxed front, I have been fortunate to enjoy a full life performing and composing music in a traditional Manx genre which I have been able to share with others in our community, in addition to competing in the Manx Music Festival.

I feel strongly that this is the right time for me to put my name forward and to seek your support.

If elected, I would bring a wealth of experience to Council, not only professionally, but on a human basis. Being Manx born and bred I have a strong and dedicated ambition to contribute to the workings of the Isle of Man Government as we seek to strengthen and build upon past foundations and go forward with conﬁdence in these challenging times.

Yours truly

Personal Statement

I am a highly motivated, tenacious professional with 7 years’ experience at Chief Executive level of developing Psycho Oncology and other support services on the Isle of Man. I have in depth and up to date knowledge of cancer and other health provision and proven ability of operating at the strategic level required to develop services and influence change. I have been the primary influence in recruiting strong teams and motivating the change in direction for Manx Cancer Help in recent years. I have developed a strong but empathic management style that encourages people to reach their full potential. I have an open and outgoing manner and am able to interact in a friendly but professional manner with staff at all levels. I have found my nursing qualification to be invaluable in the development of the services we provide and recognise the importance of working collaboratively with specialist nurses and other medical professionals in all aspects of development. I have worked with a small team to produce budgets and sustainable income streams in order to support the future of our ever expanding service. I have been a Governor of Clatterbridge Cancer Centre for the past 9 years which means I am well informed and up to date with health and social care services in the North West of England.

I believe that during the development of the current services provided by Manx Cancer Help/The Lisa Lowe Centre I have developed the necessary transferrable skills to ensure that I would be a strong candidate to be a member of the Legislative Council. I bring enthusiasm to every role I undertake and would relish the challenge of being involved in the continued development of our Island. Along with the Board and the strong and dedicated team at The Lisa Lowe Centre we have looked at the current difficult climate for third sector service providers and re shaped our charity in line with identified need. After a recent meeting with the head of one of our local banks I received an email saying how good it was to “See a local charity innovating to meet the demands of the local population” and I see this as a great endorsement of the work we are doing.

Work Experience

Chief Executive, (Jan-2009 - Present)

Manx Cancer Help - The Lisa Lowe Centre Old Schoolhouse Cronkbourne Braddan IM4 4QH

My role at Manx Cancer Help/The Lisa Lowe Centre is rewarding and challenging and has involved working with an effective Board of Directors to ensure policies, strategies and procedural systems are developed and implemented to guide the organisation.

. I have directly influenced and overseen the development of a Psycho oncology service on the Isle of Man to ensure that we offer individualised specialised psychological services to anybody whose life is affected by cancer along with a range of complementary therapies and other supportive services such a legal surgery and benefits advice. . I have been instrumental in building and maintaining a strong and highly professional team of accredited therapists and support staff to ensure that we are providing a gold standard NICE compliant service.

Nominated Governor at Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust (2009 – Present)

Director – Council of Voluntary Organisations (2012 – Present)

Care Co ordinator,

Manx Cancer Help – I was employed to train as a counsellor to support clients and also provide the day to day management of the charity. Shortly after my appointment the board of directors and myself were able to identify the need to find a new direction for services in order to bring the charity in line with other similar support services. The need was identified for specialist psychological therapies provided by a team of accredited therapists and so my role within Manx Cancer Help changed.

(Jan 2007 - Jan 2009)

Clinical Coding Officer (Sep-2005 - Jan-2007)

Nobles Hospital, Strang Braddan Isle of Man IM4 4RJ

This was a part time role and involved using my experience as a health care professional and knowledge of medical terminology to analyse clinical statements and assign standard codes using a classification system. The data produced formed an integral part of health information management, and are used by local and national governments, private healthcare organisations and international agencies for various purposes, including medical and health services research, epidemiological studies, health resource allocation, case mix management, public health programming, medical billing, and public education.

Senior Staff Nurse (Oct-1983 - Feb-1992)

Nobles Hospital, Strang Braddan Isle of Man IM4 4RJ

After qualifying as a registered nurse in 1983 I worked as a staff nurse on an acute surgical ward for four years and then senior staff nurse and junior sister on the special care baby unit at the local maternity unit. During this time I gained valuable experience in working alongside staff at all levels of experience and seniority throughout the hospital and realising the importance of effective teams and their management. My experience on an acute surgical ward meant that I gained daily experience of nursing patients at various stages of their cancer journey.

Education

Diploma in counselling

Keyll Darree Education Centre, Nobles Hospital Douglas, Isle of Man (Sept 2007 to July 2009) Registered General Nurse Nobles Hospital, Douglas Isle of man (Sep-1980 - Sep-1983)

3 year training at Nobles Hospital, Isle of Man to become a Registered Nurse

A level certificates (Sep-1973 - Jun-1980)

St Ninians High School, Douglas, Isle of Man

GCSE O'levels (Sep-1973 - Jun-1980)

St Ninians High School, Douglas, Isle of Man

12 subjects gained at grades A - C including English and Maths

Skills

Excellent English language skills and experience of writing strategy documents and service development plans to present to various agencies. Extensive experience and acquired skills in public speaking. Proven record of building and managing effective teams at every level of the organisation. I consider one of my strongest skills is to listen to the people I work with and empower them to reach their full potential whilst leading from behind when required and when I need to rely on a person whose skill in a particular area is greater than my own. I have a great passion for the role I currently hold and this would transfer to any new challenge which would draw on the skills I have developed over the past few years. I have been supported by a board of directors to maintain and develop my skills by attending a number of training and development days with different agencies and I have been involved in creating a peer support network for similar professionals on the Isle of Man. Life outside work

Leisure activities

Working in mental health services, in much the same way as nursing can be emotionally challenging and is always demanding. It is essential to develop a good work / life balance that ensures the ability to build the resilience required to operate in a potentially difficult area. I take good care of my own health both mental and physical and enjoy hobbies such as walking the beautiful countryside, swimming, travel, reading and more recently writing which I find very therapeutic.

Achievements

It will be noted within my CV that I have a large gap in employment history whilst I was fortunate enough to be at home and bring up my family of four now grown up children. I do not see this as a disadvantage; in fact it is my greatest achievement to date and helped me to gather all the skills associated with parenting that transfer every day into my working life.

Kevin worked within the finance industry for 42 years, 36 of those on the Island. He has been a passionate supporter of our local community, heavily involved in Union Mills Football Club and for many years was a major organiser and an instrumental part of the HSBC Youth Games.

In 1987 I moved to Guernsey undertaking a Treasury role before moving into back office operations. I returned to the island in 1992 undertaking a variety of roles the final one being Senior Manager, Isle of Man and Head of Operations for Channel Islands and Isle of Man which encompassed operations in Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, India and Malaysia.

I have been lucky enough to travel through work to places such as India, Malaysia, Gibraltar and Poland which has given me a wide-ranging perspective on the diversity of cultures.

From: Caine, Daphne (MHK) Sent: 13 February 2018 16:31 To: Roger Phillips Subject: nomination for Legislative Council - Alistair Ramsay

Dear Roger

I would like to propose Alistair Ramsay for one of the vacancies on the Legislative Council.

Chris Thomas MHK has agreed to second this nomination, which is supported by Martyn Perkins MHK and Lawrie Hooper MHK.

Alistair has 35 years experience of Isle of Man politics comprising 18 years as a journalist and 17 years as the Council of Ministers' press and public relations officer.

He retired from the latter role last year, having worked with five Chief Ministers and their Councils on a wide range of domestic and international issues.

As a political journalist Alistair was a respected Tynwald correspondent and commentator. He contributed a chapter on the Ministerial system to A New History of the Isle of Man published by Liverpool University Press.

Alistair has an extensive knowledge of Tynwald and Government developed over four decades. He also has the ability of an experienced journalist to ask the right questions and to understand complex issues.

I believe that this strong offering of directly relevant experience, understanding and skills makes Alistair Ramsay ideally suited to serve on the Legislative Council and to support the independent scrutiny of Government's policies, legislation and delivery.

A brief CV is attached.

Kind regards

Daphne

Dear Roger

I write to propose Mrs Christine Wheeler OBE as a candidate for the Legislative Council.

Raymond Harmer MHK has agreed to second Mrs Wheeler’s nomination. Alfred Cannan MHK and Geoffrey Boot MHK are her assenters.

Mrs Wheeler is a relative newcomer to the Island but she has already demonstrated her commitment to preserving what we have, building on that and successfully meeting the challenges ahead. Mrs Wheeler has familiarised herself with how our Island’s Tynwald works and has immersed herself in politics, including researching the background to a number of the issues we are currently facing.

During her long career, which started in the Inland Revenue in the UK and ended with the chairmanship of a successful oil and gas exploration and production company, Mrs Wheeler interpreted and used legislation, and she often needed to be able to scrutinise things effectively as a consultant or non-executive director.

Her international experience within the energy sector and her approach to planning and risk assessment should all prove valuable assets.

I believe Mrs Wheeler’s award of the OBE for services to the oil industry reflects both her service to clients and positive involvement with government.

I sense that we could expect the same positive involvement here.

Mrs Wheeler’s contact details are:

Motivation

When I moved to the Isle of Man, I did so with the intention of making a contribution to the state if I thought my views based on past experience would be of value.

I spent the first year here settling in and friends explained to me how Tynwald works. I listened to Questions in the House of Keys; and was astounded at the aggression shown by many MHKs and Ministers. This seems to me to hinder a democratic debate.

I became even more interested in politics during the general election and I have since that time become what I term “a politics addict”. I have, for instance, listened over the past 18 months to just about every House of Keys and Tynwald session and a number of Committee hearings.

I was delighted with the substantial change in the make-up of the House of Keys and I had high hopes for the new intake of MHKs and Council of Ministers. I have not been disappointed. I have communicated with a number of Ministers and MHK’s in, I hope, a constructive way. I have researched and commented on, inter alia, the following items:

• Security of supply (Steam Packet, petrol and petroleum products, Open skies policy, monopolies) • Vulnerable Families • Beneficial ownership • Abortion Reform Bill • Visa relaxation • Brexit • Lisvane Report Recommendations Curriculum Vitae

Born: Docklands, London, 1945

School: Sarah Bonnell Grammar School For Girls and East Ham Technical College

Career: • 13 Years with the Inland Revenue, trained as Inspector of Taxes, involved tax law, cases, evasion, avoidance and treaties. • 15 years with Arthur Young/Ernst and Young accountants: Tax Partner, head of Natural Resources Division, Specialist in upstream oil and gas tax law and regulations and international tax. Participated in Parliamentary lobbying and litigation. Conference speaker. • 18 years Tax and Commercial consultant to the oil industry: Clients: State Owned companies (German, Nigerian), large multi nationals (Mobil, Arco, Petro Canada) quoted and private companies, contractors, banks. Formed new (successful) oil industry lobby group OTAC. • 5 years: Primarily Non Executive Board member of private and listed companies e.g. Panoro Energy SA (Norway) and Chairman Encore Oil PLC. Consultancy work including as a member of a small team advising the Conservative Party on North Sea tax and licencing policy. • Retired in 2013 and moved permanently to the Isle of Man.

Charitable/public: Board Member of Crusaid (an AIDS charity) for four years. Provided work experience to teenagers every summer and follow up counselling. Acting as Patron to a few students, one going to Boston for training and one in the UK. Regularly contributed to events of the Spinal Injuries Association

Family: husband, daughter, and three grandchildren.

Awards: I was awarded an OBE, in 1994, for services to the oil industry on the joint recommendation of the then Department of Energy in the UK and my clients.

Experience and Expertise:

My involvement with the oil industry encompassed other business sectors such as shipping, engineering, construction, refining, oil trading and retail.

The types of projects in which I developed a substantial expertise included corporate group structuring, risk analysis, due diligence, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, financing, planning for monetisation and single asset disposals or acquisitions. The value of the businesses or assets concerned ranged from small asset swaps or farm outs to a corporate sale at $2 billion.

Litigation also became an area where I became either part of the litigation team or the leader and we were always successful. As the oil industry is heavily regulated and usually highly taxed I lobbied and spent time with senior civil servants, MPs and Ministers and developed relationships based on mutual respect.

I willingly make available access to all of my UK and international experience in business and options to enhance and protect the interests of the Island. I have both UK and International experience in negotiating legal contracts and doing business with different cultures, and am used to reading, interpreting and suggesting amendments to legislation.

Dear Roger

I would like to nominate Mrs Shirley Ellen Corlett as a candidate for the Legislative Council.

Tim Baker MHK has agreed to second Mrs Corlett’s nomination, and Alfred Cannan MHK and Ann Corlett MHK are her assenters.

Mrs Corlett is recently retired from the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority where she held senior management roles for 20 years in Supervision, Policy and Legal/Authorisations Divisions.

During this time I believe she acquired an extensive knowledge of legislation through drafting much secondary legislation and preparing drafting instructions for financial services primary legislation. Mrs Corlett is also familiar with the legislative process, including having assisted Members in taking legislation through Tynwald.

I understand Mrs Corlett's role also required research and analysis of complex and diverse subject matter, consultation, stakeholder liaison and follow up action.

I have known Mrs Corlett for over 15 years and I believe her to be a person of integrity who has an excellent skill set which would prove very valuable to the Legislative Council in its role of supporting the independent scrutiny of the Island’s legislation.

I enclose her Curriculum Vitae for further information.

I was born in Berkshire and, after working in London for two years, I moved to the Isle of Man in 1974. With the exception of relocating to Texas for four years while my husband obtained his Doctorate of Optometry, I have lived on the Island since that date.

Education

 Master of Science in Financial Regulation and Compliance Management obtained in 2004 from London Metropolitan University (via the Isle of Man International Business School).  Ordinary National Diploma (Credit); 5 Royal Society of Arts examinations and a Royal School of Music examination obtained from the South Berkshire College of Further Education.  The equivalent of 8 ‘O’ Levels examinations obtained from Newbury Girls Grammar School.

Professional Body

I am a member of the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment.

Professional Summary

Prior to my retirement at the end of September 2017, I had worked for the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority (“IOMFSA”) (previously the Financial Supervision Commission) for nearly 28 years. During this time, I held the position of Assistant Supervisor then Supervisor of Investment Business in the Supervision Division before transferring to become Senior Manager of the Policy and Legal Division (which subsequently took over responsibility for the Authorisations Division). My employment with the IOMFSA therefore had two key themes – (a) a compliance oversight role in relation to investment businesses which required extensive knowledge of the financial services legislation and the ability to apply this and assist licenceholders to comply with the regulatory requirements; and

(b) a policy development and legislative drafting role which required the ability to – (i) research, analyse and review complex areas, consider conflicting views and identify and take appropriate actions; (ii) draft secondary legislation, which included the consolidation of the various regulatory codes for banks, investment businesses, functionaries of collective investment schemes and fiduciaries into the Financial Services Rule Book 2008; and ongoing updates of this and other legislation including the extension of the Regulated Activities Order, Financial Services (Exemptions) Regulations and Fees Orders to encompass new classes of regulated activity such as e-money, payment services, and crowdfunding; (iii) liaise with the Attorney General’s Chambers on the drafting of primary legislation (e.g. the Designated Businesses (Registration and Oversight) Act 2015); (iv) liaise with Members of the House of Keys and Legislative Council to take legislation through Tynwald; and (v) liaise with other government and regulatory bodies, both on and off Island, to enable the IOMFSA to enter into Memoranda of Understanding with those bodies examples of which are the banking and securities regulators of the Peoples’ Republic of China, the financial services regulators of the Seychelles, Malta and UK as well as government bodies including the Treasury, Financial Intelligence Unit and Customs and Excise. During my career at the IOMFSA, I was responsible for the management of staff and I have provided training and coaching sessions for these staff and others within the IOMFSA, and have also organised and participated in training seminars for external parties.

Skills

 Excellent research, analytical and communication skills (both verbal and written).  Good leadership and management skills plus the ability to liaise with people at all levels.  Familiarity with legislation and the ability to draft secondary legislation.  Detailed experience of financial services regulated activities.  Good IT skills.

Reason for seeking election to the Legislative Council

I believe that many of the competencies and skills that I obtained during my career with the IOMFSA would be of benefit to the Legislative Council and I would welcome an opportunity to utilise these skill for the benefit of Tynwald and the Island.

Voluntary Experience

I have been a Volunteer Presenter at the Curraghs Wildlife Park for 4 years and a member of the Sulby Horticultural Show Committee for 3 years and have recently been appointed as Vice Chairman of the Committee.

Personal

I am married to Dr Robert Fraser Corlett and have one daughter, Rowan Breda, born in 1988 and three cats. I enjoy reading and craft work and am a member of the Isle of Man Guild of Silk Painters. From: Harmer, Ray (MHK) Sent: 19 February 2018 12:55 To: Phillips, Roger; Phillips, Roger Cc: Geoffrey Boot; Clare Bettison; Alfred Cannan Subject: FW: Nomination for Legislative Council - Rich Furner

Dear Roger,

I would like to propose Rich Furner for the upcoming Legislative Council elections. Mr Geoffrey Boot, MHK has agreed to second the nomination and supported by Clare Bettison, MHK and Alf Cannan, MHK as assenters.

Rich is an actuary, recently retired, having worked for 41 years in the life insurance industry. He has held senior positions internationally, and for the last 18 years in the Isle of Man where his roles included being IT manager, Chief Actuary, and Head of Management Review which for want of a better word is akin to Scrutiny. He has particular expertise in managing financial systems, understanding the dynamics of forecast projections, and explaining complex systems using simple language. In addition to scrutinising technical material such as proposed legislation, his enquiring mind and work experience would drive him to investigate financial matters, and he is particularly passionate about wishing to do this within a LegCo role.

I have explained the changing role of LegCo and believe he has the right skills, background and commitment that will prove a real asset as a colleague in Legislative Council. I attach a copy of his CV, and a covering letter, for your information.

Kind Regards

Ray

Rich Furner 11 Quarry Lane, Peel, IM5 1QQ 843746 | 343420 | [email protected] I am a member of the actuarial profession, and as such have provided oversight of the financial management of insurance business throughout my professional working life. I have extensive experience in managing business departments, teams and projects. I believe I would be able to bolster the financial scrutiny of matters pertinent to Government. I came to the island in 1998, aged 43, with my wife Sue and our five children all of school age. We love the place. Amongst the happiest thoughts I have is that all five children, now grown up of course, are still on the island and are here to stay. My working life has been entirely in financial services, and more specifically in life insurance. I qualified as an actuary in 1986, and thereby have particular expertise in managing financial systems. As appointed actuary of Falcon Leven in the Netherlands, and later of Zurich International Life Limited in the Isle of Man, I was responsible for safeguarding the interests of all their policyholders. As IT Manager of Hansard Administration Services in the Isle of Man, I was responsible for ensuring the sound implementation of major computer systems enhancements including Y2K and the Euro. My work has concentrated on actuarial matters, and systems. The actuarial work I have done requires applying good business judgment, backed up by rigorous analysis and appropriate application of mathematical theory, to solving practical problems in financial management, and implementing their solutions. The prevailing business environment has always required that I communicate complex ideas clearly, using simple language. Indeed, this is a central part of the training undertaken by members of the actuarial profession, in addition to the technical skills. The systems work I have done has enabled me to excel at understanding the detailed logic of software code, especially flawed logic, and quickly spotting errors that need to be corrected. In my most recent project I devoted a large proportion of my time to providing detailed programming training to new recruits to help ensure error-free coding from outset. This combination of practical actuarial work and systems work has made me a strongly analytical thinker, with the ability to understand complex data, and to penetrate through layers of fluff to determine what constitutes the essential important fundamentals. Scrutiny, attention to detail, an enquiring mind, and challenge, are all second-nature to me. I have a natural affinity for reading technical, complicated material and making sure that I understand it and think through its wider implications, and a natural desire to seek to improve it. I have international experience. As a child I lived for a few years in each of France and Belgium because my father was in the RAF and moved frequently. In my working life I have lived and worked in Germany for three years; in the Netherlands for ten; and in Switzerland for one year. In addition, I have acquainted myself with, and advised on, some aspects of the life insurance businesses in many other countries: USA, Spain, Italy, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brazil, Indonesia, Taiwan, Argentina, Japan, Mexico, Chile. In the course of my professional reporting duties I have held meetings with the financial services regulators of many countries: The Netherlands, Germany (both in their local language), Switzerland, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bahrain, and of course the Isle of Man. Further, my work on numerous proposals for Merger & Acquisition has exposed me to the working practices of yet other territories. Because of this background, the passion that I can offer to LegCo on departmental matters is a drive to get to the bottom of financial workings. For example, I could assist in probing the right areas, and forging the right questions to get useful answers, to bolster the provision of a sober, dispassionate, analysis of a given financial issue affecting the island’s economy – not just to report, but with a view to then assisting in initiating a change to help improve the position (if indeed there is a problem to be solved). Perennial big topics in the press are tax, pensions, funding the health service, size of the public sector. I do not know if any changes are required, and I come with no pre-conceived conclusions. But I would like to acquaint myself with some analysis, and after due debate as to what is the right direction to move, provide some firm nudges to get so moving. Outside work, my main interests are music and books. I have hundreds of LP records, rock and classical, to listen to, and hundreds of CDs. I have shelves full of maths books which, yes, I read for fun, and most of the rest are on science, music and language. I sing bass in the Manx Choral Society (we recently sang in a world premiere in New York), am a Friend of the Peel Centenary Centre, and I have done the Peel Dip every year since coming to the island. I like swimming, and making frequent short brisk walks. I have done the Parish Walk twice – but only as far as Santon. Curriculum vitae - Richard Furner MA FIA February 2018
