Terms of Reference

The Project Board arises from the restructuring of the Partnership that was agreed in February 2001. It is the overall co-ordinating group for 4 decision-making groups; Communications Working Group; Habitats, Species and Data Working Group; Management Working Group and Biodiversity Records Centre Working Group.

The working groups will provide the Project Board with a summary of their key decisions, in advance. The Project Board will oversee and co-ordinate these decisions if necessary. The Working Groups will also raise strategic issues requiring discussion.

The Project Board contains the chairs of the working groups and other members of the Partnership. Presently this includes representatives from the London Boroughs via the London Borough Biodiversity Forum, The Association of London Government, BTCV, British Waterways Ltd, English Nature, London Underground Ltd, London Wildlife Trust, The Royal Parks, The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Thames Water Utilities Ltd, and The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.

The attached diagram shows the reporting structure of the Partnership.

The purpose of the Project Board is to:
1. Provide the overall steer for the Partnership's activities.
2. Co-ordinate the Partnership's strategically important activities by identifying any conflicts between key decisions made by the working groups, and providing solutions where possible.
3. Discuss strategic issues raised by the Management Working Group and work towards solutions if necessary.
4. Provide a voice for the chairs of the working groups and other key partner organisations.

In addition, the Project Board will:
1. Aim to be representative of the wider Partnership and the constituency of biodiversity stakeholders in London.
2. Offer 2 open places, available on a first-come, first-served basis via arrangement with the chair.
3. Post an agenda for the meeting and chair's contact details on the Partnership's website 2 weeks in advance.
4. Welcome written questions from any party in advance. The chair is responsible for ensuring a prompt response.
5. Put minutes of the meeting and any papers on the website.
