It is suggested that after the election of the new parliament, start with a pilot work system, where parliamentarians will be divided according to separate committees and their areas of activity. After this presentation, there was a question session, during which the parliamentarians wondered if the pilot plan was being prepared too hastily? How do you think when it will be realistic to assess whether such a model is successful? And when do you recommend repeating a similar study? During the discussion, it was decided that after noticing that this model does not work, an attempt will be made to improve this model, and if the model is effective, it can be officially confirmed or not confirmed during the next election reporting conference. 

Also, during the meeting, the updated VDU SA statutes and work regulation drafts were presented. It was mentioned that tasks and objectives were filled according to current activities. The structure of the documents has also been slightly changed to make the documents more user-friendly.
