The ECGI Content Advisory Board

Responsibilities

Responsibilities of the Content Advisory Board include but are not limited to:

1. discussion of trending topics in the scope of corporate governance and stewardship, with a view to highlighting topical news that could be used to solicit comment from the network;
2. submitting more specific editorial ideas that they would be interested to read about; and,
3. individually acting as ECGI ambassadors by sharing content and encouraging others to subscribe or visit the ECGI website.

Input from the Advisory Board does not require consensus and may be submitted privately by individual members, using a submission form. It is possible for Advisory Board members (or any other individuals) to author or co-author articles for the Blog or other ECGI publications. Submissions from Advisory Board members will be considered by the Editors in the usual manner.

Composition

The Advisory Board will have a minumum of six members, with no maximum limit. The Board should aim to include a variety of representation geographically, sectorally and by company structure. 

The members will be invited from the ECGI network. A separate Editorial Board will review the ongoing quality of the Blog and discuss editorial ideas, including those submitted by Advisory Board members.

Term

The term of appointment to the Advisory Board is open-ended as long as the member is an ECGI member. If they are representing an institutional member of ECGI, their term is deemed to expire when they no longer work for the organisation; if the organisation nominates someone else to the Advisory Board; if the individual voluntarily steps down; or if the organisation is no longer an ECGI member. If they are not representing an institution, but acting in their personal capacity, their term will expire when they are no longer an ECGI member or when they voluntarily step down. 

Meetings

The Advisory Board will be convened online twice a year or as often as it deems appropriate. There is no obligation to attend meetings which will be conversational in nature and focusing on topical corporate governance and stewardship matters. There is no quorum requirement. It is possible to contribute input or advice on a continuous basis by email or through a dedication form.
