Where to from Here?

Assignments. A more complete record will be kept of how many assignments each TD carries out each year. This will enhance transparency and ensure that TDs who do not carry out assignments are identified.

Categories. A record of which categories TDs are assigned to (eg. CIT, MAS) will be kept. This will provide useful information on TDs assigned to various categories, so that assignments are spread equitably.

Speed Qualifications. A record will be kept of TDs who are speed event qualified and records of maintenance of speed event qualifications. This will ensure that, in these litigious times, only those TDs who remain qualified are assigned to speed events.

Update Attendance. A record of attendance at TD Updates is now kept. This will also improve transparency and ensure that TDs who do not attend Updates are identified and managed. (ICR Art. 602.1.7)

No Assignments. A record of TDs who do not carry out assignments is now kept, so that they are identified and managed. (ICR Art. 602.1.7)

Log Books. Individual Log Books are the only record of a TD’s experience. Maintained by the individual, and copied to the TD Commissioner annually, so that the Commissioner can negotiate high level assignments based upon a transparent record of the individual’s skills and experience. A blank TD Log Book is available as required.
