'It's extremely important to be impartial'
John Wainwright, the chairman of the USACA Constitution Committee, speaks to Deb K Das
There are five members; two lawyers, one doctor, a director of programs for a NY college, and myself involved with the building industry all my working life. I believe we have all held senior administrative positions either in cricket or other major sports as well as a true sporting spirit and background.
We have had two conference calls to date; we are also in constant communication by e-mail and telephone, a face-to-face meeting is planed for the near future. As a committee we will continue to communicate in all necessary forms in order to complete our task.
At this time we are ahead of that particular deadline, so, I see no reason at this stage as to why we cannot finish in time.
Generally what is written reflects the writer, so I hope these values along with others will be reflected in our finished documents.
The support we have is why I personally accepted the invitation to be part of the Constitution Review Committee, that is that we are autonomous. It's extremely important to be impartial and that is my experience with the rest of the committee. Certainly we believe that we are looking to the future and what is best for cricket and its development in the USA. Hopefully, the trust and independence Gladstone Dainty as well as all the other USACA officers have placed in us will allow USA cricket to be the beneficiary.
There have been no guidelines set for us, so we will be totally responsible for the documents we produce. If you are working on behalf of any organization there are protocols to follow, Dainty is president of USACA so he will be the first to receive our final documents. It would be remiss of this Committee, as we are a Constitution Review Committee, not to set an example by following the correct protocol.
