CILIP: Arrangements for the first Council under new governance

You will all know by now that it is intended that the new governance 'regime' will begin on 1st January 2008; the corollary to this is that we need to have a new, new-style Council in place by that date. This will mean elections taking place in the Autumn of this year.

These elections will be arranged by the current Council under the transitional powers available to it in the revised Bye-laws.

However, in the event that the AGM does not approve the new Bye-laws necessary to effect the new governance structure, the existing Council is able to, and will, continue until March 2008.
