Agendas and reports for, and minutes and resolutions from, this year's board meetings are given below (see the archive for previous years). For 2011-12, meetings of the Board of Trustees are organised according to the following structure:

  1. The full board and the Chief Exec meets approximately every six weeks, alternating in person meetings and conference calls. In-person meetings are over a weekend and conference calls are normally 3 hours on a Tuesday evening. Minutes of the meetings are written via Etherpad, and will be posted here after the meeting ends, although some confidential matters will be dealt with "in camera", and will be minuted on the office or board wikis.
  2. An Executive Working Group, comprising the Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Exec is appointed with delegated authority for operational matters. All other board members may attend and speak. It meets approximately every six weeks, alternating between in person meetings and conference calls, normally 3 weeks offset from board meetings. Minutes will be posted here shortly after the meeting ends.
  3. Between board meetings, decisions may also be made on-wiki (or in-camera on the office wiki), by email or using delegated authorities; these are recorded in the agenda and minutes of the next meeting.

  • The Board meetings will normally be 1 or 1.5 days, including some aspects of training or workshops
  • The Board may hold phone meetings if there are items of urgent business that require Board decisions in between phone meetings. These are normally held on weekday evenings and last 2-3 hours.
  • Details of the Board Committees (Governance and Audit and Risk) should also be listed here.
