Coalition2030 Ireland
Description
Raise awareness on the SDGs by building and promoting a coherent understanding of the issues that impact on the lives of people in Ireland and throughout the world
Build Knowledge, skills and capacity of the members of Coalition 2030 through collaborative working
Specifically, a Core Group of Coalition 2030 will be established to strengthen this collaborative work, but also engage in representation and policy dialogue with the Irish Government.
Coalition 2030 will be making decisions on policy positions and representation in external policy processes. As a result, decision making and voting procedures are required for Coalition 2030 to respond effectively and in a timely manner. Where there are already agreed policy positions and media statements of Coalition 2030 which are requested by external audiences, Coalition 2030 assumes that all members implicitly sign off on all policies / approaches already agreed under the responsibilities of the core group / working groups, and agree to the use of NGO logos unless members explicitly state otherwise.<br />
<br />
Decision Making: decisions on policy will be carried out by consensus at both core / wider group. Where an issue is contentious and agreement cannot be reached easily by the core / wider group, then Appendix 2: Decision-Making Protocol applies, in cases where there is sufficient time to agree a position. If short term response is required from an external source and no position can be agreed quickly, then Coalition 2030 does not submit / respond to external audiences on that particular issue.<br />
<br />
Membership of External Bodies: If the external request is specifically to Coalition 2030 (as opposed to an organisation or a sector), then representation on the external body is decided by the wider group. <br />
All member organisations are notified of the call and given five days to make nominations. Nominations will be in the form of an A4 one page statement of their qualifications for the role, in 12 point Arial and including a passport sized headshot photo. All member organisations are then invited to respond to a ballot within 5 days. The ballot will be by Single Transferable Vote (STV).<br />
<br />
<br />
The Coalition will:<br />
- Develop a work plan each year, incorporating the intended activities of the working groups <br />
- Review its procedures and the effectiveness of its joint work after two years, and every three years thereafter. This will be overseen by the core group but the Terms of Reference for same will be agreed by the wider group.
Ongoing
A Steering Group is in place to coordinate the group and undertake lobbying and advocacy work.<br />
<br />
Membership: This will be composed of:<br />
2 representatives or their alternates from the domestic anti-poverty / equality NGO sector; <br />
2 representatives or their alternates from the international NGO sector;<br />
2 representatives or their alternates from the environmental NGO sector;<br />
2 representatives or their alternates from the trade union sector; and<br />
1 academic representative in an advisory capacity <br />
<br />
Representatives of each sector will be decided by, and be a matter for, members of each of the first four sectors named above. Sectoral representatives on the core group will serve either a 2 or 3 year term. <br />
<br />
Chairing: this group will rotate the chair at each meeting, and the minute taking will also be rotated, with the minute taker on one meeting being the chair of the following meeting. The Chairperson named at the previous meeting will be responsible for agreeing the agenda and ensuring the agenda and other documents are circulated to members in advance of the meeting in a timely manner. Where representatives fail to attend three or more successive meetings of the core group without a valid reason or notice, the other members of the core group may terminate their membership of the core group.<br />
<br />
Decision Making: the core group will be entrusted to make decisions on behalf of the wider group of NGOs, but will be guided and informed by the work of a number of relevant working groups. The core group has the right to establish a Coalition 2030 working group over and above the discussions at the wider group.<br />
<br />
Minutes: these will be signed off and circulated to the wider group within ten working days of the meeting, and the draft agenda will be sent out to the wider group ten working days prior to the next meeting<br />
<br />
Decisions outside meetings: The core group can make decisions by email where the timeframe for a decision is urgent. Such decisions by email will only be valid where the email communication is sent at least 3 working days in advance of the deadline, where at least six members of the core group respond and where a majority of respondents vote in favour/give their approval to the proposal/decision proposed. In the event of a tie the incoming chairperson (person to chair the next meeting) will have the casting vote.<br />
