ICGN Bylaws and Procedures
(superseded by the ICGN Memorandum and Articles of Association January 2008 (click here to see these)

The form and objectives of the ICGN were incorporated into a Statement of Founding Principles under which the Network operated mainly by consensus. Having become a body of some influence which can and does express views and take appropriate action, the members of the International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN) recognised the need for a somewhat more formal set of Bylaws.

In July 2002, a set of Bylaws were framed to give the flexibility that is required of an organisation whose members can usually only meet at the its annual conference. They recognise that, whilst membership by organisations and individuals from across the whole range of those with an interest in corporate governance is welcomed and adds strength, legitimacy and credibility to ICGN, its influence has been built on its strong representation of the investment community and the endeavours of investors to develop a fruitful relationship dialogue with leading corporate officials.
