Colleagues will be pleased to read the following e-mail from Bruce Madge, Chair of the Governance Implementation Group:We have had the very good news that the Privy Council have accepted our revised Charter and Byelaws with a couple of very minor amendments mainly of a confirmatory nature. These will be amended by our solicitor on his return from holiday. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of GIG who worked very hard to achieve this.

Following some hard work on the part of the CILIP lawyers and Guy Daines (not to mention the GiG!), draft versions of both the Royal Charter and the CILIP Bye-laws have been developed to reflect the new governance structure endorsed by Council in December 2006. These may now be found at:http://www.cilip.org.uk/aboutcilip/governance/ governanceimplementation.htmAs is shown in the Timeline of Governance Events, these must now be approved by Council before being sent to the Privy Council for approval. In order to gain that approval in 2007, thus enabling the new governance to become effective on 1st January 2008, these documents will need to be sent to the Privy Council before the end of April 2007.If you wish to compare the proposed new versions with the current Royal Charter and Bye-laws...
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. >>Technorati tags: CILIP;...
