To receive a report updating on Governance and the Future Vision of Alexandra Palace.

The Committee received the report on the Governance and Future Vision Update, introduced by the Interim General Manager, Alexandra Palace, Andrew Gill.

Further to a comment about the importance of the appointment of Independent Advisors to the Board, the Chair emphasised the importance of the Consultative Committee, seconded by Councillor Hare.  A Committee Member highlighted the need for the Trust to consult with the relevant stakeholders in considering the future governance of the Palace.

The Committee noted that recruitment for the appointment of Independent Advisors may be similar to the process used for the recruitment of Non-Executive Directors for the Trading Company, although the process had not yet started.

In response to questions the Interim General Manager reported that the bespoke Code of Governance was a working document incorporating the 2005 NCVCO Code of Good Governance and the Haringey members Code of Conduct to form the Trustee handbook.  It was noted that the NCVCO Code allowed for organisations to state which elements of the Code they did not comply with, it was common for organisations not to comply totally with the all aspects of the Code.

RESOLVED to note the report.
