How Rootstock is run

Rootstock is run by a committee of management which is elected annually by the members on a one member, one vote basis. All Rootstock investors are members and as such elect this committee. All committee members must be a member of Rootstock Ltd., or a member of a society that is a member of Rootstock Ltd. Currently, all committee members are also members of Radical Routes co-ops.

The financial, secretarial and general administration is carried out by Footprint Workers Co-op. The contract to carry out this work is for one year, after which it is either renewed or put out to tender for another co-operative. The guys at Footprint have no decision making powers, and all their work is overseen by the Committee.
