LLG are very excited to bring you our Remote Meetings Protocol and Procedure Rules, produced in collaboration with ADSO. It covers annual meetings, notice requirements, access to information, remote access for both members and the public, procedures, and voting. It also provides you with draft standing orders and guidance for behaviour whilst in remote attendance. We recognise of course that the varying technological capabilities, procedures and constitutional arrangements cannot be comprehensively covered in the one document but we do hope you will find it of great value.
