DF Committee are representatives (who are elected at Althing) responsible for overseeing the running of the DF movement.
There is also a list of Regional Developers. Each region has it’s own representative, which you should get in contact with if you are feeling a bit lost at finding your way in the DF world.
DF Committee has 13 members. On alternate years there is a fourteenth committee member who has the role of ‘Shadow Treasurer’. All members of DF Committee are elected from the floor of Althing to stand for a 2 year term, with the exception of Treasurer, who due to the ‘complex nature of the job’ is on Committee for 3 years!
It’s really very simple. All you need is a nomination at Althing (either from yourself or anyone else there). Nominations take place on the Saturday and in the evening all prospective candidates take part in a ‘Hustings’; this is where people are free to ask nominees questions and they get the chance to tell everyone why they would make a good committee member. On the Sunday morning everyone present gets the chance to vote for each vacant position and results are announced.
There are several ‘other’ roles that need to be filled by committee members. These positions are decided at “old/new”; the only closed committee meeting of the year.
The District Fellows Movement is the 16-20 year old members of the co-operative educational youth charity, the woodcraft folk, whose ideology is based on the principles of equality, peace, social justice and co-operation, with an emphasis on the empowerment of young people.
DF meetings usually consist of a group of like minded individuals meeting up at a regular time and place (someone's house, or a pub for instance, or even a community hall if the group is large enough) and taking part in usual woodcraft activities. These activities range from co-operative games, orgainising events, workshops and discussions, and general socialising!
The DF movement also meets up on a national basis frequently, to hold both social, educational events and business events allowing everyone to be involved in the running of DF's...
