This Town Hall will report on collaborative work with the community to refine governance reforms that will be presented for adoption at the March 27 General Meeting.
This collaborative work has taken place in the #governance-reforms slack channel. It has built on the draft reforms that were presented to the 2023 Autumn General Meeting, including this summary presentation and Draft Board Terms of Reference.
The Town Hall will provide a brief progress report, with ample time for discussion and questions. Materials will be circulated in advance.
The meeting invite is sent to all members via email.
Background:
Starting from last November, we’ve invited members to discuss on how to strengthen the governance structure to make MyData Global more efficient and impactful. The governance reform focuses on four issues:
- Criteria and profile for recruiting new board members
- Board member terms and elections/appointments
- Accountability mechanisms between the board, staff, and general membership (including mechanisms for removing board members or voiding board decisions)
- Representation and empowerment of regional hubs
