Consultations

As LINX is an organisation run by its members, the members are consulted about any proposed changes to the way LINX is run and its formal governance documents.

Home » Governance » Consultations

Any proposed changes are first raised at a quarterly LINX member conference, but proposals are then summarised here before being brought as a formal resolution to be voted on by the members at a General Meeting of LINX – usually held at the February or November member conferences.

Overview

At LINX123 LINX Chair Pieter Knook announced plans to replace the LINX Memorandum of Understanding with a new Membership Agreement, which would act as a framework agreement with members and sit alongside modernised Service Terms particular to each of LINX’s member services.
