    United Kingdom: ME Association governance issues

    The advantage I have is that I can’t really follow the ins and outs. also ascribing motives and retconning that parts of documents were copy pasted etc are allegations and theories. These are not the same as facts, and it’s the facts which require CC investigation.

    The MEA should already have notified the Charity Commission that there has been an incident. Others should notify the CC that MEA hasn’t been operating as it should, and ask them to investigate.

    It’s unclear which AoA’s were drafted in 2013 and which were adopted in 2014 there’s about three versions in play. TL:DR the MEa should have asked permission from the Charity Commission to pay trustees it awarded contracts to. It didn’t do so, claiming it didn’t need to citing various AoAs -...

    I really don’t mind if it’s incompetence or corruption, it’s for the Charities Commission to work out. Amendments agreed at meetings held illegally don’t hold anyway, so for NR’s sake let’s hope he can prove appropriate notice was given in 2014 for the AGM. It wasn’t in 2024.

    Fascinating. I’d like to think also about the intersection with capitalism but my brain isn’t playing.

    I think the CC needs to be informed of all of the issues, which includes the “movement” article, the non-apology, the “I am Complaints Officer” article, the attempts to add the motion to the AGM by Nic? The ultimate refusal to do so, the format of the AGM, the emails to P White and threatening...

    Ah so Martine is the only person I can see who works in Ainsworth and Wells, and she has a PR background but her company was used to do campaigning work, and it was at arms length. She’s the director and the only shareholder. And in 2014 and 2015 her company had only debts showing on their...

    United Kingdom: ME Association governance issues

    To me, a foggy bystander with a charity work history, I don’t really care if the wrong thing was filed. I don’t really think there was a conspiracy to pay cash to trustees which they don’t “deserve”, they probably did carry out work and should be paid. what I do care about is 1) the attitude of...

    Well the complaints CEO has been hoist with his own petard, hasn’t he? Egg on his face.Other English sayings for destroying himself, embarrassing himself, looking a fool also apply. Removed any doubt that he’s unsuitable for the role he is currently undertaking.
