Our Standing Orders

Our Standing Orders, which underpin our Charter, set out the internal governance rules we must operate by.

What do our Standing Orders contain?

This section lists definitions of terms that can be found in the Standing Orders.

This section lists 20 Cavendish Square as our headquarters. 

This section empowers Council to authorise members to act to further an industrial dispute. It also empowers Council to make regulations that govern the procedure to be followed.

This section stats that the 快猫视频 will continue to be a member of the International Council of Nurses, unless members decide otherwise at a general meeting. 

This section sets out who can become a member. This section also sets out Council’s powers to:

  • remove members if they miss payment for their subscriptions

  • define activists and representatives

This section states that every member must  pay an annual subscription. Rates are determined by the 快猫视频 during a general meeting on Council’s recommendation.

This section sets out the composition of our Council. Council is made up of 17 members including the President, Deputy President, 14 elected regional/country members and the Chair of Congress.

The President, Deputy President and Chair of Congress are members of Council by virtue of these roles (known as ex-officio members). The Chair of Congress is a non-voting member.

This section also states that the terms of office for elected members is 4 years and that none of our staff may be elected to the Council until 2 years after they have left their employment with us. 

This section sets out the requirement to have a Student member and a Nursing Support Worker member of Council. It also sets out the arrangements for their elections and their terms of office.

This section states that Council members occupying country or regional seats must step down from that seat if they no longer have a work or home address in that country or region.

This section sets out the principles for filling Council seats that have become vacant in between election times.

This section sets out in detail the eligibility criteria and terms of office for the President and Deputy President.  Terms are 2 years with the possibility of a further 2-year term after serving a first term. This section also provides that Council may elect a President or Deputy President in the event of a death or resignation.

Sets out the process to follow when convening a General Meeting.  Members may call a General Meeting if 5% of the membership sign a petition to do so. Council also has the ability to call a General Meeting.

  • to receive the annual report of Council
  • to receive the 快猫视频 accounts and auditor reports
  • to discuss professional matters

It also states that a copy of the reports must be available to members on request and that a summary of the annual report of Council is published at the same time as notice of the AGM is made available to members. 

This section states that the minimum number of members required for a general meeting is 150 members. These members can attend either in person or by proxy, meaning that another member can attend on a member’s behalf. If this number isn’t reached, no business can be conducted. If this number isn’t reached within the first half an hour of a general meeting, the meeting must be postponed. 

This section states that normally, the President will chair a general meeting.  In their absence, the Deputy President will chair. If neither are present, the members present in person at the meeting will choose another member to chair. The chair has the power to postpone the meeting, as long as the members present agree.
