Housing corporations
This is from a document on the role, responsibilities and structure of a housing corporation's board of directors. The document refers to itself as a 'governancebouwwerk'. I've only ever heard of bouwwerk as a structure or building, or as construction. Has anyone heard of it used this way?
"Dit governancebouwwerk beschrijft en formaliseert de werkzaamheden en bevoegdheden van het bestuur en de raad van commissarissen van de stiching"
"Indien één van de bepalingen uit het governance bouwwerk niet of niet meer geldig is, tast dit de geldigheid van de overige bepalingen uit het bouwwerk niet aan."
"Het governancebouwwerk is vastgesteld en goedgekeurd in de vergadering van de raad van commissarissen van [datum] en treedt in werking op [datum]."
"In het bouwwerk wordt soms een verwezen naar bijlagen."

Improving Your Corporate Governance Framework

What should I consider when formulating a governance framework?
When putting together your governance framework, you will need to consider:
Structure of the organisation – for example, federal or highly centralised
Nature of the organisation's business – such as policy work or operations
Range of business functions undertaken, and the commonalities between them
Requirements for communication and data sharing across the business functions of the organisation and its partners
Distribution of authority and the extent of central or local autonomy
Procedures and responsibilities for business planning and defining business strategy
Geographic distribution of organisational units, business functions and facilities such as IT
Existence of corporate-wide policies, such as for purchasing and procurement
