Decision-making
The BILC should prioritize Shura, consultation and consensus. Where consensus cannot be achieved, voting procedures established in the governing framework may be applied. A Caucus decision would not automatically become the independent position of every member.
Conflict resolution
Disputes should begin with direct dialogue, then move if necessary to mediation through designated representatives. Serious disputes may be referred to a mediation panel or the Leadership Council, with restoration of cooperation as the objective.
Administrative sustainability
Transparency as an institutional requirement
The profile proposes a transparent financial system from the earliest stage, with appropriate budgeting, accounting, documentation, financial reporting and auditing.
Potential legitimate sources
- Membership contributions
- Voluntary institutional contributions
- Permitted donations
- Grants
- Program revenues
All sources are subject to applicable laws and regulations.
Institutional safeguards
No single member should exercise unrestricted control over the financial resources of the Caucus. Financial transparency is described as essential to maintaining confidence among participating organizations.
Code of conduct
Respect, authorization and due process
Representatives are expected to communicate respectfully, avoid personal attacks, protect confidential information where appropriate and distinguish personal views from official Caucus positions.
Members should not use the BILC name to suggest collective endorsement without proper authorization. Procedures for addressing violations should be based on fairness, transparency, due process and proportionality.
