A great committee member needs to care about the state of the League, and represent his team/LG and what is the best.
They have to want to do it, and know they can commit to doing the role.
They need to understand they aren't better then everyone else in the League and not let it go to their heads, where they treat the rest of the League's posters as Plebs, and they think they own the comp.

Committee.
LG make considered choice on rep for X reason, can't be shat on as LG choice for that reason might be valid for that context.
Rep chosen might see things and run away screaming, can be shat on but is in there because..
Committee doesn't have means wants or desire to band as a grouping and state X isn't doing squat so replace with Y, as that takes progression and this is a reactive space only.
Sure, original instance is on Lg for inherently a shit rep who ran away screaming, but committee is at fault for tut tutting then sitting on hands screaming like a toddler to fix it without finding common solution group think to then enforce.

Your post is a bit all over the place - if people in committee were sitting on hands screaming like a toddler, wouldn't that be doing the very thing you're suggesting we do (to publicly raise problems with other reps)? A bit weird.
I actually think it's an Admin thing to identify poorly represented clubs and raise this either directly with the club or publicly - I don't see it as a responsibility of other clubs to fix another club's poor choices. The Admin ultimately watches out for the health of the league - the committee reps support this by representing the views of their own club.

You forgot a pretty amazing former club skipper here Horry.Good challenge Mr TIF.
For many, the Sweet FA is in a Slumber. The Admin has had a fit of the vapours, taken to their chambers and dosed up on the stilling juice.
The anodyne Committee has absented itself. Some are no doubt there for ego reasons that are a complete mystery. As a grouping they have the relevance of an ageing Masonic Lodge still trying to keep out the Irish.
Strange bow ties, reach around hand shakes and the like and one suspects a shared interest in ….
S.34 has had one bright light. The 13th Club has been a welcome bonus with its clear identity and array of effective veteran and noob posters. Beyond the OOBs there is nothing to write home about.
Match thread quality is down. The terrible failure to solve the fixture is an indictment of the Committee and the Absentee Landlord…oops .. Admin.
The media beyond the Goose, TIF, WIGMedia and some decent reg threads on game data is lunar.
Worse, The Sweet is the poorer for the disappearance or near absence of many stalwart quality posters.
Now I am NOT blaming the desultory Admin or the quiescent Committee totally for the current malaise.
What makes a good Committee Member?
* Commitment to the health and future of the Comp.
* Leave the site persona at the door. (no WaynesWorld19 types please)
* Credibility beyond your own Club.
* Preparedness to do hard work.
* Experience as an active member of The Sweet for a minimum of five seasons.
* Have often debated and disagreed with the following diverse people but it seems to me they all are motivated by the health of the joint. For me they are role models for Committee member selection that each Club LG should bear in mind when selecting their Rep. Ned_Flanders Agent93 Barrybran Dingster

See, this is the kind of initiative taking that the current committee currently lack.
If you're listening Kennedy Parker, apply Ace to the board ASAP.

ive raised this before but i love how narrow minded some people on here can be.
the best solution in my eyes is to lower the club limits. who needs more than a starting field of posters anyway? who tf has 18 active posters in one match thread. and most importantly. who tf wants to play on the bench.
you all cry about lack of depth but then youve got clubs hoarding active posters and this will become a 2-4 club league where the rest of the clubs are essentially irrelevant

why dont we lower the squad sizes by another 3 posters and see if it makes any difference..
seriously. cut it down to 22. if you manage to get 4 posters banned in one week. then i say good riddance to the forfeited points. keep your club in order (yes i know the irony. trust me)
cutting down to 22 should release about 50 players. out of the 50. id say 30 will be inactive. and 20 can go join the koalas.

Let's go with your questions though.
Whose responsibility to identify and remedy: the latter is key as power is in the hidden forum no? Those elected to give a damn about league health in a modicum of respect? Say LG turfing a rep every week based on whims would be sure to not irritate anyone involved at all...
Is it not reasonable to have LG or other members speak to rep and checks & balances: Internal club dynamics, if they are not made aware of an issue is their ignorance/apathy justified?
Does transparency fix any of this: yes/no. Highlights competency, highlights deficiencies, mob rules, effectively light trolling all things considered.
Essentially, style of admin matters, as autocratic has power and committee is there for the ride, democratic does not as populist diatribe demands majority rule, power is then split between admin and committee and not solo. Not necessarily an admin only blame game for issues, consistent is collection of individuals into committee with differing focus, none at all, or anything in between. In those, transparency then has committee going "we have these problems, these reps are bad" and doing nothing at all about it. Very easy then for a democratic admin to turn autocratic for the health of the overall league.
And yes, they would be just due to how they are elected, there's say a very good reason AFL house doesn't have current day players in it yet AFLPA does, any "issue" in committee will inherently feed back simply due to clubs having to have representation.
