The Proposed Constitution for the UDG as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation
The UDG is proposing to become a charitable incorporated organisation. A draft constitution has been prepared using the Charity Commission model Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with voting members other than its charity trustees (association model constitution) with edits shown in a blue font.
The charitable objects and structure of the Urban Design Group will remain unchanged
- the Urban Design Group Executive Committee will continue to be responsible for the day to day activities of the group
- the Urban Design Editorial Board will continue to be responsible for the production of Urban Design Journal
- the Trustees will continue to be responsible for overall strategy, budgets and oversight
The main changes between the current constitution and the new are:
- Trustees will be elected by the membership of the Urban Design Group
- the elected Honorary officers will also be trustees
- the Urban Design Editorial Board will nominate one trustee to provide a permanent contact between the Trustees and the Editorial Board.
- the Trustees may nominate a non-member trustee (such as someone who might be able to provide special advice, such as legal, or financial)
- the Trustees will be between 7 and 8 in number.
