2. The organisational challenge
How to organise the work?
Professional society with own secretariat vs. Platform/partnership/network based on external secretariat?
EURinSPECT (and EPSO) as foundations based upon Dutch legislation.
The need for governmental organisations to disclose use of public resources.
A contractual relationship between the members and EPSO? EPSO and EURinSPECT?
Clarify and settle formal structures and procedures of governance
Accountability: Who is deciding? Who is electing/appointing whom?
Transparency: How is the progress of the work reported?
Working programme > Budgeting > Accounting > (Annual) report
How to (formally) engage the member organisations? The role of the national representatives?
