JFS (file System)

Charitable Incorporated Organisation
A Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) is a corporate form of business designed for (and only available to) charitable organisations in England and Wales, similar to (but with important differences from) a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation. CIO status is conferred by the Charity Commission for England and Wales on application by the proposed members of the CIO. Usually the members are also the proposed trustees, but this is not a requirement. The main benefits of the form are that the charity has legal personality (the ability to enter contracts, sue and be sued, and to hold property in its own name – rather than in the name of its trustees), and its members have limited liability (their liability in the event the charity becomes insolvent is limited or nil). Historically these benefits were only available to limited companies, and many charities chose to incorporate as charitable companies limited by guarantee. However, this requires registration and fil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

However, Mbeki did very little to develop the position, leaving it virtually vacant until the next CHOGM in 2002, when the troika was created.
