We recognised that there are two types of policy, which we will call Union Policy and Operational Policy.
Operational Policy will be the responsibility of the Executive Committee and the Management of the Union. These represent the workaday policies which determine how we manage the Union, rather than decisions about issues of principle.
In all matters Union Policy will take precedence over Operational Policy.
Policy proposals for Union Policy should be presented on a template, which will be provided by the Union.
The template will include the following sections:
Background to the proposals
Recommendations for action.
Impact on the Union:
Cost
Reputation
Diversity/Inclusion.
The template will include and a statement that the Union Council will allocate implementation to an executive committee member, in line with a previously agreed decision of the Council.
We will find an alternative word to use instead of “motion” and include an explanation of the meaning of that word on the template.
Decisions will be made in Union Council by simple majority of those present (subject to section 2.13 of the constitution, which says that decisions of Union Council will only be binding if 2/3 of elected members are present).
