NEC brief update
Proscriptions
We argued for the retrospective application of proscriptions to be re-considered - a significant number of NEC members did not agree to the process as implemented.
Due to NEC rules we’ll have to wait until Nov’s NEC meeting to bring changes

We were told there had been a meeting with Forde & the GS to confirm timescales & were assured the report will be provided by November. (someone did raise in which year) 2021 for avoidance of doubt

Constitutional Amendments
There are a raft of rules that we opposed - I’ll post more details later.
The left on the NEC supported all of the CLP’s constitutional amendments - However the NEC recommendation is to OPPOSE them.

I will ask our Black, Asian & Ethnic Minority NEC Rep to communicate next steps a& current position on what is happening with the Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic Conference
