Governance
How DCU is run, and how we stay accountable to creators.
Built to be accountable as we grow.
DCU is starting as an unincorporated association of creators, with a written constitution and a small founding committee. As we grow - with the model, membership and governance properly reviewed - members may consider conversion to a Community Interest Company (CIC) or another suitable structure.
Constitution
Our objects, membership rights, decisions and finances are set out clearly. The current document is prepared for member review and formal adoption.
Review constitution preview (Version 1.1)Decision-making
Strategic decisions are approved by the founding committee, with input from our advisory board and wider membership.
Advisory board
As DCU grows, respected creators, legal experts and policy specialists will guide our strategy.
Creators should see where the money goes.
We’ll publish an annual summary of income, costs and distributions for members.
