CILIP Governance Implementation Group: Draft Charter and Bye-laws (2)

Colleagues will be pleased to learn that at yesterday’s meeting, CILIP Council discussed the proposed Royal Charter and Bye-laws which the Governance Implementation Group, together with CILIP’s lawyers, has drafted to enable the changes to governance. Following a short discussion, Council agreed the draft which will now – shortly – be sent to Privy Council.

In presenting the draft documents to Council, I noted that our aims in developing them were in line with those of the Task Force report: to provide greater simplification and transparency; and to facilitate the new governance structures and e-governance.

Thanks were also minuted to both Guy Daines and the CILIP lawyers for the huge amount of hard work covered in a relatively short time.
