Governance and House-Keeping
NSFM seeks to add value through its working groups which will as incubators for new thinking and seed these proposals into the debate with existing organisations and initiatives. Thus NSFM will avoid becoming an institution. It therefore has a light governance structure.
There is a cordinating team consisting of the following individuals
Cecile Churet, Frank Jan de Graaf, Keith Johnson, Sean Kidney, Raj Thamotheram, Helen Wildsmith, Cynthia Williams
Decisions are taken by consensus.
This coordinating team is responsible for deciding, after considering feedback from Network participants, whether a written publication can be linked with the Network.
Thus all publications coming from the Network will be shown in exposure draft form to Network members ahead of publication, ideally a matter of weeks (for reports) but occasionally more urgent (eg letters to press).
As a network of participants with diverse views, individual participants will make their own decision whether to associate with any given publication - ie association will be by a “sign on” basis.
With respect to report, those Network participants who confirm they want to be associated with the publication will be listed in the following manner:
“This publication is a product of the XXX working group of the Network for Sustainable Financial Markets. The coordinators of this working group are A, B and C and the members are X, Y and Z. In addition the following NSFM participants have endorsed this publication: ……..
Participants are involved in their individual capacity.”
