Governance of the Foundation

The governance of the iSHARE Foundation is organised in a manner that the iSHARE Network can operate and grow in a sustainable way. At the same time, its governance provides the appropriate checks and balances that will allow iSHARE Participants to provide input, supervise ongoing activities and collaboratively influence the growth and development of the iSHARE Standard and Scheme.

Rules about the foundation’s organisation and its governance framework are captured in the statutes of the iSHARE Foundation. The iSHARE Foundation is listed in the Commercial Register (Handelsregister) maintained by the Chamber of Commerce (Kamer van Koophandel) under registration number 73058289.
