Following approval at the ACM in September 2020, for the Region to take all necessary steps to investigate Incorporation we have been working with our Partners – Mitchell Charlesworth and Brabners LLP. We have identified the steps and the documentation that would be needed if the Region takes a decision to change its legal status from an ‘Unincorporated Association’ to an ‘Incorporated Company Limited by Guarantee’.

Work over the past few weeks has concentrated on developing the constitution of the new company. This has focused on developing the main constitutional document, the Articles of Association; this work is expected to continue for several more months. Following the completion of the Articles we will need to produce the Company Rules and Regulations which will help the company to operate effectively. To inform this task we have started a critical examination of the current Regional policies and procedures.
