Former CGF President Tunku Imran dropped controversial plans in 2014 to relocate the offices from London to Kuala Lumpur following protests from several countries, particularly those from Africa. 

A proposal is now due to be put forward to the CGF General Assembly here tomorrow for the current organisation to be dissolved and reconfigured as a private company limited by guarantee under UK law. 

Such a set-up is an alternative type of corporation used primarily for non-profit organisations that require legal personality. 

A company limited by guarantee does not usually have a share capital or shareholders, but instead has members who act as guarantors.

Until now, the CGF has been a non-registered not for profit association.

"It gives us firmer roots in the UK in terms of our location and our body and assets," CGF David Grevemberg told insidethegames here. 

"We feel that this will strengthen our movement."

Several sports governing bodies based in the UK are already a private company limited by guarantee, including the PGA European Tour.

The new CGF company will have a charity subsidiary, the Commonwealth Sports Foundation, which will be its development arm. 

Currently, 68 per cent of the CGF's budget goes on development, including helping support countries prepare for the Commonwealth Games.

The CGF is also due to officially move into the offices of the newly named Commonwealth House on Pall Mall in London on November 1. 

They are currently located at CAN Mezzanine in Old Street in Shoreditch in London.
