No, RUPA don't have a rep on the board. The board is made up of "independent" business people.

Seems there has been a little confusion about who can vote at an AGM/EGM. State Unions, Super Franchises and RUPA have voting rights - not board reps. The "old" system had NSW/Qld firmly in control with 8 votes to 6. The reforms made that 6-10 with the addition of Super franchises seemingly taking control out of the "Heartlands 2". Could have fooled me with the way the ARU board shat their pants after Sydney "luminaries" threatened mutiny at the end of the 2016 season - IMO the catalyst for the whole charade. The knee-jerk reaction of cutting the Force has put the odds slightly more in favour of the Sydney cabal at 6-9. However with the addition of ACT and Vic votes it's 10-5.
It might be interesting to see the shenanigans if Super Rugby were to implode in a couple of years from now. I imagine with a 10-5 vote margin none of the current purple circle will give an inch and fight to retain those votes in any constitutional revamp. Back to the future.

As said numerous times, it needs to be wound up, and replaced with entirely new structure not beholden to Sydney school boys, a NATIONAL body with the NATIONS interests at heart. You know, the AUSTRALIAN Rugby Union

I know a bit about trusts. The governing document for a trust is the trust deed. You can write almost anything you want into a trust deed as long as it meets the general principles of "trust" law. They are also not under the supervision of ASIC unless the trustee is a company. The ATO will certainly be interested in any trust operating in Australia....but only if it is earning taxable income. The AFP may be interested if money laundering is going on.
The interesting thing with trusts is that there is often a "power behind the throne". Who and how are the trustees appointed? What powers do various office bearers hold? What happens to the trust funds if the trust is wound up? What happens to distributions of income or capital? This is all laid out in the trust deed.
Trusts are very handy vehicles to legally do underhand activities.....just saying.
It appears in this case there was a company in Imperium Sports Management.They are also not under the supervision of ASIC unless the trustee is a company.
what assets do imperium sports management have now they no longer have the rebels?
I see that Imperium is no longer doing the recruitment for the Rebels.
