Dear Ms Harle,

Thank you for your email and apologies for our late reply.

I'm afraid we are not currently in a position where we can approve the proposed name "Tony Blair Institute for Global Change". To use the word "Institute" the two key criteria that must be met are proving that the company has a very established track record of operating at the highest level and also providing independent supporting evidence from a relevant source to back up this claim.

We are content that the track record seems to be sufficient as the evidence you have provided shows plenty of excellent examples of proposed company's track record. However, you haven't provided any independent support with your application.

The letters you have supplied from the Tony Blair Faith Foundation and the Tony Blair Governance Initiative are not considered to be independent, since these are the two organisations merging to form the new company. You must provide wholly independent support from a source linked to the field. I'm afraid I cannot recommend a specific body or person to approach - it is up to the applicant to identify a suitable source. Please email in any independent support you obtain and we will be able to re-evaluate your application.

Yours Sincerely,

Sensitive Names Team Companies House

Registrar of Companies Companies House Crown Way Cardiff CF14 3UZ BY EMAIL

7 October 2016

Dear Registrar,

TONY BLAIR INSTITUTE FOR GLOBAL CHANGE

We are writing to you, on behalf of our client, regarding the application for incorporation of a company limited by guarantee with the name the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBIGC); in particular the use of the word 'Institute'.

Mr Blair and the organisations of which he is Patron are practitioners and thought leaders in the area of seeking to harness the forces driving globalisation and ensure it works to benefit the broad mass of citizens, and/or also carry out research at the highest level in the field of countering religious conflict and extremism.

a. Overview

Since leaving Downing Street in 2007 Mr Blair has set up a number of organisations; including The Tony Blair Governance Initiative (AGI), the Initiative for the Middle East (IME), Tony Blair Associates (TBA) and The Tony Blair Faith Foundation (TBFF) - together, the Existing Organisations. These organisations combine a mixture of prominent thought leadership with practical support and training to governments around the world.

aha is a trading name of Alex Harle Advisory Limited, a private limited company, registered in England and Wales with registered number 7229848. The company is regulated and authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority; Its SRA number is 552987. The company's registered office is at 33, Brown Candover, Alresford, Hampshire S024 9TR.

Mr Blair announced at the end of September 2016 that he would be winding down the commercial part of his organisation - Tony Blair Associates - and focussing on not for profit activities.

TBI6C will house those not for profit activities; its purpose and focus will be on •making globalisation work and to continue and enhance the programmes of activity carried on by the charities of which he is Patron. In practice this work is already being undertaken by the Existing Organisations and TBiGC will consolidate the existing activities under four pillars:

1. Effective Governance

Helping governments around the world deliver tangible outcomes for their people through effective governance by providing world class practical support and training to those at the heart of government.

2. Countering Extremism

Providing practical support and delivering thought leadership to help challenge extremism. This will build on the work currently being conducted by The Tony Blair Faith Foundation and its Centre on Religion and Geopolitics.

3- Initiative for the Middle East

Working to create circumstances where it is possible for Israelis and Arabs to work together on a range of issues of mutual interest in order to build the foundations for increased regional security; the practical application of a research-based approach, delivered by a highly-experienced team.

4. Policy Solutions

Producing detailed research and policy recommendations to assist governments with the task of operating in a globalised world.

Underpinning all these areas of work is Mr Blair's unrivalled experience and insight derived from his ten years as UK Prime Minister and the ten years of practical work in these areas since leaving Downing Street, delivering influential speeches, publishing papers and providing practical insight to leaders around the world. Examples of Mr Blair's recent work are included as Annex A.

As one example Mr Blair published a substantial essay last December on the threat of. Islamist extremism called The Depth of the Challenge.1 The publication of this essay

The company is regulated and authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority; its SRA number is 552987. The company's registered office is at 33, Brown Candover, Alresford, Hampshire S024 9TR. coincided with Mr Blair delivering a keynote speech, the 7th Kissinger Lecture, on the issue at the Library of Congress in Washington DC.2

b. Fully functioning

Mr Blair is the Patron of both The Tony Blair Governance Initiative and The Tony Blair Faith Foundation. Subject to any advice and views of the Charity Commission, both charities intend to transfer their assets, undertaking and liabilities into the new organisation. The existing IME unit will also transfer to TBIGC on or shortly after incorporation.

The combination of these areas of work, the calibre of staff and levels of their expertise mean TBIGC will immediately be able to build on the seminal research and practical work delivered to date in both charities. It will, therefore, be operating at a world-class level from the date of its establishment.

G. Support

Mr Blair's level of expertise on the issue of globalisation is well established and documented over the 20 years since he became Prime Minister in 1997.

The level of work the Existing Organisations are undertaking and the research they are producing has also been well established in the ten years since Mr Blair left office. Letters of support from the charities accompany this application. .

d. Research

TBIGC will combine a mixture of practical support - for instance through its work with governments on delivering reform - and pre-eminent thought leadership.

The research that underpins both types of work will be a combination of Mr Blair's unique insight, deep personal engagement in global affairs and the expert work of his colleagues. The research capacity of TBIGC will build on that currently being undertaken by the Existing Organisations; for instance the Centre on Religion & Geopolitics (CRG), established by The Tony Blair Faith Foundation.

CRG has produced a large body of in-depth research reports that have had significant impact; for instance an acclaimed report on understanding Jihadis called Inside the Jihadi Mind. This report met with considerable acclaim, including from academics. For instance,Georgetown University described it as, "the single best work I have read on the ideological foundations and theoretical

The company is regulated and authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority; its SRA number is 552987. The company's registered office is at 33, Brown Candover, Alresford, Hampshire S024 9TR. This work will, where applicable, be aligned and funded by International bodies such as the World Bank (as the Existing Organisations have been to date).

f. Training

TBIGC will provide training to other organisations and individuals in a variety of ways.

Mr Blair will continue to mentor leaders around the world in leadership and policy making. This work is supplemented at a high level by key senior advisors, including former Cabinet Ministers and high-level diplomats - for instancel

Beneath this level the organisation's staff will, particularly on governance, be working at the heart of government, helping leaders deliver reform for their people. A key part of this work, particularly in effective governance, includes the transfer of practical skills from its skilled employees to individuals in governments around the world.

The Existing Organisations also provide practical training on the ground. The Tony Blair Faith Foundation, for instance, is pioneering a global education programme for 12-17 year olds. The aim of the programme is to provide global learning and dialogue opportunities to help young people to be resolute in the face of narratives that play a part in developing radical extremist ideologies. The programme, called Generation Global, is already active in twenty countries.10

We trust that this information is helpful and sets out clearly why the use of the term 'Institute' is appropriate for the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. If you require any further information please let us know.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harle

CRG also publishes a monthly tracker of the scope and scale of terrorist activities around the world called -the .Global Extremism Monitor.4 The monitor has been drawn upon by a high number of leading institutions and bodies, including, for instance, the House of Commons Defence Committee.5

Further examples of the thought leadership being delivered by the two charities are attached as Annex B.

The Tony Blair Governance Initiative's research papers, include three on the 'Art of Delivery'6 and its representatives speak at leading events, for instance at conferences' organised by the Overseas Development Institute.7

Jn addition to the organisation's centralised cross-cutting research programme each pillar of TB1GC will have its own research unit.

e. Relationships with other organisations

TBIGC will network, support and work with other global leaders and opinion formers; in doing so it will build on the existing work of the two charities.

The Tony Blair Faith Foundation, for instance, coordinates a global teaching network of leading universities to help ensure there are people of influence equipped to engage effectively where there are conflicts with religious dimensions. The network includes, as founding members, McGill University, the National University of Singapore and Yale.8

Mr Blair has personal connections with a number of international organisations; for instance, he was appointed as chair of the European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation last year and is also a Leadership Council Member of the Center of Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School.9

In the delivery of its work TBIGC will continue Mr Blair's work at the heart of governments, operating in the offices of global leaders and their ministerial departments.

Dear Registrar,

LETTER OF SUPPORT: TONY BLAIR INSTITUTE FOR GLOBAL CHANGE

We understand an application being made, by The Rt Hon. Tony Blair, for incorporation of a not for profit company limited by guarantee, to be called the Tony Blair Institutefor Global Change (TBIGC).

We have worked with The Rt Hon. Tony Blair and The Tony Blair Faith Foundation for a number of years in the field of countering extremism and engendering religious tolerance. Tony Blair and The Tony Blair Faith Foundation are world leaders in this field and play a key role in the global development of understanding of extremism and support to help counter it, including in their role on GCERF. On behalf of GCERF I confirm that we consider TBIGC will be a global leader in the sector, operating at the very highest levels in terms of both research and the practical application of its work.

We therefore consider the use of the word "Institute" in relation to this organisation to be entirely appropriate and fitting given the status and nature of its work.

Yours faithfully,

Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund (GCERF)

Dear Registrar,

TONY BLAIR INSTITUTE FOR GLOBAL CHANGE

I am writing to you as I wish to incorporate a company limited by guarantee with the name the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change {the Institute). '

The details are set out in a letter from my solicitors dated 7 October 2016 and the supporting letters, of the same date, from The Tony Blair Governance Initiative (TBGI) and The Tony Blair Faith Foundation {TBFF).

I announced at the end of September 2016 that my focus now is on bringing together the work and research already undertaken by the existing organisations of which I am Patron, TBGI and TBFF, as well as the Initiative for the Middle East. The purpose of the Institute, a not for profit company, will be to make globalisation work by helping countries, their people and their governments. It will do so by combining world-class research, prominent thought leadership with practical support and training to governments around the world.

I trust that this information is helpful, along with the supporting letters, in setting out why the use of the term 'Institute' is appropriate as well as explaining why it is important to me and important for the entity itself and the work it will be doing.

Yours faithfully,

PO Box 60519 London W27JU www.tonyblairoffice.org
