The Trustees of FPIN are chaired by Martin Allaby, who also chairs the Trustees of FIG. The Trustees of FIG have agreed that Martin’s role as chair of FPIN will be noted as an interest and, in circumstances where it could be a conflict of interest (e.g. when FIG is considering grants to FPIN), Martin will provide any relevant information, but will then stand aside from the discussion and decision- making process. The methods used to recruit and appoint new charity trustees are as follows: (1) Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. (2) In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. ## **Reference and administrative details** The name of the charity is Faith and Public Integrity Network (Charity Commission registration number 1198787).
