The Council had a series of very specific objectives including:

1. A vision for an effective governance philosophy.
2. A governance system or model which will meet the new challenge of the Six Nations Council as it moves toward implementing a clarified shared vision of the future.
3. A clear outline and Board policy about the expected results of the Six Nations Council.
4. An identification of the strategic priorities to be addressed in the next one to three years.
5. Recommendations (and implementation strategies) regarding the Council’s composition, recruitment, retention, and orientation strategies.
6. An effective Council structure and supporting structure which recognizes the environmental influences on the organization and which is functional in producing the necessary governance results.
7. A preliminary set of revised Council policy decisions which reflect the new directions of the Council.
