Appointing body and trustees for new charity

Robert Devine Chairman at Asian Film Foundation Posted 3 months ago

I am setting up a new charity, and just filing CIO docs

we have an initial three trustees, who will be written into the document

my plan is to fill out the board over the course of the next year, the document mentions an "appointing body" - can that be a company or even a foreign company? (my pref would be to have said appointing body to nominate them and then have the exiting trustees approve the nomination)

what are the rules on appointing bodies

thanks!
