Proposal to allow CSOs to change the composition of their founders
Proposal to allow CSOs to change the composition of their founders
06.10.2023
This proposal would allow CSOs the possibility of removing founders from their membership and was discussed on the Telegram channel by Artem Metelev, Chair of the Duma Committee on Youth Policy.
“Founders of CSOs often lose contact with their organisation, e.g. the person becomes incapacitated, passes away or simply disappears, or the founding organisation is dissolved. In such situations, it is impossible to convene a quorum of founders to wind up a CSO or amend its constituent documentation”, said Metelev.
A Bill is being developed jointly with the Ministry of Justice for consideration by the State Duma which will make it possible to:
- Remove CSO founders by decision of the organisation’s management board or by court decision if the founder is deemed to be a foreign agent, extremist or terrorist;
- Independently remove or introduce people to the list of founders by submitting an application to the local justice department.
