It
doesn't sound like much(!), but it really implies a
lot of work behind the scenes: at our last meeting the GiG finalised the CILIP Regulations
with the CILIP legal advisers, and these will be presented to Council next
week. [ Note of explanation: CILIP has a Royal Charter
which essentially sets out our aims and purpose, and then there is a set of
Byelaws which dictate how the Institute is to be run. Both of these have to be
approved by Privy Council, and we are in the middle of this process now -
hoping for an agreement in principal before Council. 'Beneath' the Byelaws sit
the Regulations, which set out in more detail what is and is
not acceptable or expected practice. These do not need external
validation and are consequentially easier to change from time to time as need
dictates. ]
I can
also report here that the promised FAQ on the Policy Forum - the response to
Group and Branch questions in the earlier consultation - will be available on
the GiG web pages within the week. This has taken slightly longer than we might
have wished, but the process of finalising the text between the members of the
GiG took place over a particularly busy period - Umbrella, the Scottish
Conference, etc - and this has resulted in the delays. Sorry about that - but
it IS on the way!
Other
items from last week's agenda included the agreeing of both the report for
Council which will go out with the final set of papers this week; and a reply
to a detailed query received by the GiG; and discussions on our schedule of
work for the rest of the year and the governance implementation schedule.
