351: Resolution to convert licensing trust to community trust

You could also call this:

"Voting to change a licensing trust to a community trust"

If you are a member of a licensing trust, you can vote to change it to a community trust. You do this by making a resolution with the other members. The trust members can decide to make this change.

You cannot make this change if you have already voted on it in the last 12 months under section 356. This means you have to wait 12 months after a poll before you can vote to change the trust again. This rule helps you think carefully before making big changes.
