Scheme of delegation
The 外网天堂 Group Scheme of Delegation (SoD) outlines the framework for delegation of authority for decision making across the 外网天堂 Group. It clarifies 外网天堂 decision making and the 外网天堂鈥檚 role in decision making for 外网天堂i, 外网天堂 Foundation and 外网天堂 Holdco.
The Scheme explains the body who is the final decision maker and the role of other bodies, where applicable, in reaching the decision. The Scheme has been updated and this updated version was approved by 外网天堂 Council in 2024.
It displays:
- The Final decision maker - this can be 外网天堂 Council/Board or a Committee. If it is not Council, the delegated powers allow them to make the final decision.
- Who scrutinises/reviews the document(s) before they can be recommended to the final decision maker
- Who is notified of a decision that has been taken by another body, in line with the Scheme of Delegation.
These delegations are included in one overall schedule, which is a very large document. To aid transparency in sharing with our members and stakeholders, we have prepared a separate document for each body who has delegated authority. These documents are available below.
外网天堂 Decision Making
外网天堂 Council is the governing body of the 外网天堂. The Scheme of Delegation explains the delegated powers and authority that 外网天堂 Council has given to Committees and Boards to assist them in decision making on behalf of the 外网天堂 membership*. This updated document clarifies the role that each Committee / Board, which are all made up of elected and appointed 外网天堂 members, has in decision making on behalf of our members.
* To note, operational decisions made by the 外网天堂 Executive Team are not included in the Scheme of Delegation.

外网天堂's role in 外网天堂i, 外网天堂 Foundation and 外网天堂 Holdco Decision Making

In addition, Service Level Agreements are in place between the 外网天堂 and 外网天堂i and the 外网天堂 and 外网天堂 Foundation. These documents clarify decision making and delegated powers across the 外网天堂 Group.
