We are also asking our members to vote on changes to the Interlink RCT Articles of Association (as amended by special resolution registered at Companies House on 23 March 2023). We want to appoint non-member trustees (replacing co-opted trustees) to ensure non-member trustees can provide an equal contribution as trustees and are appointed on the same basis as member trustees. It is proposed there would be a maximum of 3 non-member trustees. The proposed specific clauses to be added are as follows:

• Add: (3) A member director can only be nominated from a member organisation. That is, a member can only nominate a director from their own organisation.
• Add: ‘Non-member directors will be appointed in the same way as member directors and under the same terms and voting rights as member Directors’.
• Add: 25 The number of directors shall be not less than seven and not more than 12 including non-member directors.

It is proposed specific clauses to be removed are as follows:

• Remove: (3) A director can only be nominated from a member organisation. That is, a member can only nominate a director from their own organisation.
• Remove 25: The number of directors shall be not less than seven and not more than 12, (excluding co-opted directors).
• Remove 26: Co-opted directors can be appointed as long as they are not full members and they do not have voting rights.
• Remove 27: The number of co-opted directors shall be not more than three and appointed in the same way as other directors.
