Yn yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol yn 2012 fe holais a ddylai’r Eisteddfod Genedlaethol foderneiddio.  Rwy’n bwriadu sefydlu Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen i drafod opsiynau er mwyn cyflwyno argymhellion i mi ar sut y mae cyflawni hyn.  Ni fydd cylch gwaith y Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen yn cynnwys trafodaeth ar newid rheol Gymraeg yr Eisteddfod.  Rwy’n falch o gyhoeddi bod y canlynol wedi cytuno i fod yn aelodau o’r grŵp: * Roy Noble, Cadeirydd
* Peter Florence
* Yr Arglwydd Dafydd Elis\-Thomas AC
* Eirlys Pritchard Jones
* Sioned Wyn Roberts
* Nia Parry
* Bethan Elfyn
* Aran Jones
* John Pritchard
* Daniel Evans
* Ali Yassine
* Sian Eirian

Bydd y grŵp yn ystyried:* Beth yw’r manteision a’r anfanteision o adleoli’r Eisteddfod bob blwyddyn rhwng De a Gogledd Cymru ac i leoliadau newydd bob tro? Beth fyddai manteision ac anfanteision modelau eraill? A ddylid dilyn cylch pedair blynedd gan leoli’r Eisteddfod ar ddau safle parhaol, un yn y Gogledd\-orllewin a’r llall yn y Gorllewin, a theithio rhwng y De a’r Gogledd am yn ail ar gyfer y ddwy flynedd arall?;
* A allai lleoliadau parhaol i’r Eisteddfod ysgogi’r ardaloedd hynny yn economaidd, gan hybu twristiaeth ddiwylliannol, ac adlewyrchu y celfyddydau yng Nghymru ar eu gorau?
* Beth yw manteision ac anfanteision y model presennol a ddefnyddir i drefnu wythnos yr Eisteddfod a chystadlaethau’r wythnos dan reolaeth y Pwyllgor Gwaith a’r Llys?  Beth fyddai manteision ac anfanteision modelau eraill? Er enghraifft, yn y dyfodol a ellid trefnu wythnos yr Eisteddfod ar wahân i’r cystadlaethau er mwyn gwella profiad ymwelwyr ac atyniad yr Eisteddfod fel un o ddigwyddiadau diwylliannol pwysicaf Cymru?
* Sut mae cynnal a chefnogi ymrwymiad, brwdfrydedd a gweithgarwch y gwirfoddolwyr ledled Cymru?
* Sut mae sicrhau ein bod yn elwa i’r eithaf ar yr oes ddigidol hon wrth roi sylw i’r Eisteddfod yn y cyfryngau?
* Sut mae sicrhau bod yr Eisteddfod yn cynnig profiad cyfoethog i ymwelwyr newydd, gan gynnwys pobl o gefndiroedd di\-Gymraeg, gan gynnwys, er enghraifft, gwell arwyddion, amserlenni digwyddiadau a chymorth gyda offer cyfieithu?
* Sut gall yr Urdd a’r Eisteddfod Genedlaethol weithio yn agosach gyda’i gilydd i rannu gwasanaethau ac adnoddau?
* Sut mae manteisio ar ffynonellau eraill o gyllid refeniw i’r Eisteddfod?
* Sut mae cynyddu niferoedd ymwelwyr i’r Maes yn ystod wythnos yr Eisteddfod, gan dargedu pobl ifanc a theuluoedd yn benodol?

Bydd y Grŵp yn derbyn tystiolaeth gan nifer o sefydliadau, gan gynnwys darlledwyr, yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol a’r Urdd.  Bydd yn adrodd i mi ym mis Medi 2013\.

At the National Eisteddfod in 2012 I raised the question of whether the Eisteddfod should look to modernise. I now intend to establish a Task and Finish Group to discuss options with a view to making recommendations to me on how this might be done. The task and finish group’s remit will not include a discussion on changing the Eisteddfod’s Welsh rule.


I am pleased that the following have agreed to be members of the group:


* Roy Noble, Chair
* Peter Florence
* Lord Dafydd Elis\-Thomas AM
* Eirlys Pritchard Jones
* Sioned Wyn Roberts
* Nia Parry
* Bethan Elfyn
* Aran Jones
* John Pritchard
* Daniel Evans
* Ali Yassine
* Sian Eirian


The group will be asked to consider:


* What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Eisteddfod re\-locating each year between North and South Wales and to new sites each time?  What would be the advantages and disadvantages of alternative models, for example, should the Eisteddfod be based around two permanent homes, one in North\-West Wales, and one in West Wales, operating on a four\-year cycle, with the other two years of the cycle, as now, involving  travelling between north and south Wales alternately;


* Whether permanent homes for the Eisteddfod could become the focus for economic stimulus in their local regions, drivers of cultural tourism, reflecting the best of the Welsh arts scene?


* What are the advantages and disadvantages of the model employed by the Eisteddfod for organising the Eisteddfod week and the competitive events during that week under the management of the Executive Committee and the Llys?  What would be the advantages and disadvantages of alternative models, for example, could the organisation of the Eisteddfod in future be delivered through separating the organisation of the National Eisteddfod week from the organisation of the competitive events during that week, to maximise the visitor experience and overall attraction of the Eisteddfod as one of Wales’s most significant cultural events?


* How best to maintain and support the commitment, enthusiasm and activity of volunteers across Wales?


* How to ensure that the media impact of the Eisteddfod is fully maximised in the digital era?


* How to ensure that the Eisteddfod offers a rich experience to new visitors, including from non\-Welsh\-speaking backgrounds, which may consider, for example, better sign posting, timetables of events and assistance with translation equipment?


* How the Urdd and the National Eisteddfod could more closely work together in the sharing of services and resources?


* How to maximise other sources of revenue for the Eisteddfod?


* How to increase visitor numbers on the Maes during the Eisteddfod week, specifically targeting young people and families.


The group will take evidence from a variety of organisations, including broadcasters, the National Eisteddfod and the Urdd Eisteddfod. It will report to me in September 2013\.
