Update from SG3, in Nov 24
This section sets out an updated draft of how a Trustee Code of Conduct might work, following discussion at Steering Group 3. (details in the minutes of SG3)
Thank you for all your feedback!

Previously
For the moment, I've called this work "Conduct Commitments", to avoid confusion with the Member Code of Conduct. But if you think people can cope with the idea that there's a Code for Members and a separate one for Trustees, it's the work of a moment to change this.

I've also suggested how the Society could manage possible disputes or allegations that a Trustee had failed to meet a commitment.
