May 2014 - Protest Committees III

Two months ago, I started a series on how to handle a protest from the protest committee’s side of the table. At the end of the second article, we had decided whether the protest was valid. This month, we will continue with the process for hearing a valid protest. Our job as the protest committee is to hear the evidence from the parties to the protest and the witnesses, and then to determine our facts, conclusion and decision. During the hearing, it useful to have one member of the protest committee take notes. The note-taker should pay particular attention to recording numbers such as distances, times and speeds.
