Constitution and Bye-laws

Due to the fact that recruitment for the role of President (elect) has become increasingly difficult, it was clear there was a need to amend the EONS Constitution and Bye-Laws to resolve this practical issue. After legal consultation, minor amendments to the Constitution and Bye-Laws were proposed and agreed upon during the latest general meeting which took place in Berlin during ECCO 15-ESMO 34 in September 2009. The amendments do not alter in any way the ethos or structure of the organisation. They do, however, enable the Executive Board to introduce a limited level of flexibility into the process of appointing future Presidents, should the ideal situation (of three Presidents from 3 different countries) not be available. The amendments proposed were made by the solicitor and the process used was guided by his instruction. Following clarification of the process used at the general meeting, these minor changes have now formally been agreed at the EONS Board meeting which took place on Friday 27 November 2009. The changes were presented to the EONS Advisory Council on Saturday 28 November 2009 in Brussels.

The legal advisor has proposed that EONS approaches the Charity Commission to invite its guidance on further amending the Constitution and Bye-Laws to make them clearer and more user-friendly.
