ICOM UK Special General Meeting

All ICOM UK members are invited to a Special General Meeting on Friday 6 December.


The ICOM UK membership voted at the 2023 Annual General Meeting to initiate the process of converting to a Charitable Incorporate Organisation (CIO). This process has been complex and took more time than originally considered. We are now in a position to be able to make the final submission of the required paperwork to the Charity Commission. The Charity Commission has a rule that a membership decision to convert must have been made within 12 months of the submission. Since the 2023 AGM was longer than 12 months ago, we do need to ask our members to vote on this again formally.


This will be a very brief meeting. We are proposing to hold an online Special General Meeting on Friday 6 December at 11:45 am. The meeting ID is: 396 756 759 635, the passcode is: QVhff5.

Only current (2024) members of ICOM UK are eligible to vote at this meeting. This meeting will have as its single and only agenda item a vote on the following resolutions:


‘Special Resolution: ICOM UK to apply to the Charity Commission to convert to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) – ‘association’ mode.’


‘Resolution: to adopt the revised CIO constitution (circulated to ICOM UK members in advance of the SGM) and for this to be submitted to the Charity Commission as part of the application for ICOM UK to convert to a CIO – ‘association’ model.’

The Constitution can be found at this link.
