The Organisation Commission of the 35th Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Congress\nis discussing a number of strategic matters, including proposed\namendments to the Anggaran Dasar dan Anggaran Rumah Tangga (AD\/ART) and\nthe method for electing the PBNU leadership.<\/p>\n
Secretary of the Steering Committee (SC) of the 35th NU Congress,\nMuhammad Nuh, said in Jombang on Saturday that the discussion of these\nmatters was being held behind closed doors to give delegates more room\nto deliberate freely.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe session is closed; we cannot be joined by outside parties.\nDuring the \u2018cooking\u2019 process, no one may join, but once it is finished,\nwe can all enjoy the results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to him, besides the Organisation Commission, the sessions\nof the Programme Commission and the Recommendation Commission were also\nbeing held behind closed doors.<\/p>\n
The closed forum is part of the congress\u2019s internal mechanism to keep\nthe deliberation process focused until it produces a formulation agreed\nupon by the participants.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, the SC assured that the results of the commission\nsessions would be conveyed to the public once the discussion and\ndecision-making stages are complete.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will convey the results later,\u201d said Muhammad Nuh.<\/p>\n
He said all matters discussed by the Organisation Commission had been\ninventoried by the SC to be deliberated and decided upon in the congress\nforum.<\/p>\n
According to him, organisational matters and other issues that could\npotentially give rise to differences had been discussed beforehand in a\nseries of pre-congress meetings.<\/p>\n
The preliminary discussions were held to minimise differences while\ndeepening and enriching the material before it was brought to the\ncongress forum.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that at this point, in the commission now, it is relatively\nricher, with more understanding. Hopefully the differences will also\nbecome smaller, because the congress is a place for differences. If it\nwere a place for agreement, it would be over,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The 35th NU Congress is holding a number of commission sessions in\nparallel, including the Bahtsul Masail ad-Diniyah al-Maudlu\u2019iyyah\nCommission, Bahtsul Masail ad-Diniyah al-Waqi\u2019iyyah Commission, Bahtsul\nMasail ad-Diniyah al-Qanuniyyah Commission, Organisation Commission,\nProgramme Commission, and Recommendation Commission.<\/p>\n
The results of each commission\u2019s discussions will then be brought to\nthe plenary session for ratification.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/nu-congress-organisation-commission-discusses-ad-art-amendments-1788000671", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
