Due process
The Trustees will conduct a thorough and transparent review of the constitution that will enable interested parties to raise any issues that they wish the Trustees to consider and provide opportunities for input on proposals.
The Trustees have established a Constitution Committee that will help manage the process and make non-binding recommendations to the Trustees. It will engage in intensive public consultations before making recommendations to the full Trustees.
The consultations will include:
- discussions with interested parties
- possibly, public meetings or round-table discussions around the world
- the publication of papers to assist those attending the public discussions
- Trustees or the Committee to follow the deliberations
- the publication of all proposals with a period for public comment before the Trustees reach a final conclusion.
Members of the Constitution Committee
Final decisions
The final decision regarding any changes in the constitution will be taken by the Trustees as a whole.
All discussions related to the Constitution during the full Trustees’ meetings will be held during the public sessions of Trustees’ meetings so that all interested parties can follow the deliberations.
