Procedures of Appointment

1. The Property Trustees who have been designated in Srila Prabhupada's will have been appointed for life, except as mentioned below.

2. In the event of the death, or failure to act for any reason, of any of the Property Trustees, there shall be a successor initiated disciple of ISKCON who is following strictly all the rules and regulations of ISKCON as detailed in Srila Prabhupada's books provided that there are never less than three or more than five trustees acting at one time. "No objections" to the appointment must be obtained in writing from the local GBC's, and the Monitoring Executor for the property in question must certify in writing that the change is in accordance with ISKCON Law and Executors Committee policies. The trustees shall be responsible to notify the Executor Committee of any changes so effected by sending copies of all relevant documents to the Secretary of the Executor Committee.

3. Any changes, filling of vacancies, or additional appointments of Property Trustees that cannot practically be done by the Property Trustees as above shall be done by GBC Body, or on behalf of the GBC Body by the Executors Committee, which shall take into consideration the local GBC Zonal Secretary's recommendations. Property Trustees shall be selected primarily from among the GBC members, or alternatively from among senior responsible devotees. At least one Property Trustee shall not be involved in the local management.

4. In general, property trustees are appointed for life. However, the property trustee appointment may be terminated under the following conditions:

 

a) On the submission of a letter of resignation to the GBC Body via the ISKCON property office. For the resignation to take effect, it must be either unanimously accepted by the remaining trustees (if 2 or more exist), or, by a decision of the ISKCON property office.

 

b) Upon the death of the trustee or upon the trustee becoming permanently disabled so as not be able to carry out the duties of trusteeship.

 

c) If the property trustee fails to act within a reasonable time upon a specific proposal related to a property from either the local management, a co-trustee, the ISKCON property office, or the GBC Body, the local management or the co-trustees, may submit a request for removal of the trustee to the ISKCON property office stating the facts of the failure to act. The ISKCON property office may grant the request immediately, if the submitted facts are sufficiently compelling, or it may again formally request the trustee to act on the proposal. If the trustee continues to fail to act, then the trustee shall be removed.

 

d) Temple management can approach the property office to bypass a non-functioning trustee without replacing him.
