BackIn order to remain a leading organization within the international ombudsman community, the IOI Board of Directors supported the idea that the IOI should strive to achieve more openness by establishing revised membership criteria and appointed a By-laws Committee entrusted with the task of reviewing the existing IOI by-laws.
A first draft of the new by-laws, elaborated by the By-laws Committee, has been sent to all IOI members at the beginning of February 2012, thus opening a phase of regional consultation. Every member is asked to thoroughly consider the draft by-laws and to send comments and remarks to the competent Regional Vice-President and the Secretary General as soon as possible but no later than 30 March 2012.
The regional consultation certainly is the most important phase of the IOI by-laws reform process. The IOI is therefore looking forward to feedback and input from its members and would like to thank them in advance for their cooperation.
