| Dear Members,
Please find this reminder that the IAGR Secretary hereby calls for the Members' Annual Meeting to be held on Wednesday, 19 September 2018 at 1:00 PM local time at the Hotel Scandic Copenhagen in Copenhagen, Denmark. An Agenda and meeting materials will be circulated to the full membership closer to the meeting.
|
| | | |
If you or a fellow Member-regulator are interested in contributing your energy and vision to lead IAGR into the future, please respond to the Call for Nominations
which is now open for IAGR's Board of Trustees (Board).
There are three vacancies due to Trustee resignations since the 2017 Annual Members Meeting. IAGR expresses its gratitude to Mr. Jerry See (Singapore), Mr. Fortune Sekgaphane (South Africa) and Mr. Nick Tofiluk (United Kingdom) for their dedicated service over the past few years.
Service Term
The term of office is for three years. The new Trustees will begin their service effective at the 2018 Copenhagen Annual General Meeting. The service term will conclude at the Annual General Meeting in late 2021.
Minimum Representation
Excluding office holders, the minimum representation of each region shall be at least one member unless the region has not produced a nominee.
Regional Representation
According to the Bylaws, the nomination and ballot shall be structured to ensure that the regional representation requirements are met.
The current regional definition and representation is as follows:
- Africa
- Asia / Oceania
- Central America / Caribbean / South America
- Europe
- North America(Canada / U.S. / Mexico)
Eligible Candidates
According to the Bylaws Section 6.1(4), no region shall have more than four (4) members represented on the Board at one time. As the North America region currently has filled its maximum number of representatives and none of the current Trustees is standing for re-election, candidates from North America are not eligible for this election cycle.
Eligible Candidates may be nominated from the following regions: - Africa
- Asia/Oceania
- Central America / Caribbean / South America
- Europe

attached nomination form and email the document to IAGR Secretary Cedrick Chiloane at cedrickc@mer.org.za by Wednesday, 15 August 2018, 3:00 PM Copenhagen time.
In accordance with the IAGR Bylaws, nominations of new members to the
Board may be made by any member of IAGR, including current members of
the Board. Such Nominations shall have a Proposer and a Seconder with no more than one being from the same jurisdiction as the nominee.
Announcement of Nominees
A
list of all nominees will be announced to the membership prior to the September 19th Annual General Meeting which convenes in Copenhagen, Denmark. The voting members will cast their ballots in Copenhagen (or via proxy) to elect the new Trustees.
Ballot versus Automatic Confirmation
Per Section 6.4(2) of the IAGR Bylaws, if the number of nominees is
equal to or fewer than the number of available vacancies, the nominees
will be automatically confirmed as Board of Trustee members at the Copenhagen 2018 Annual General Meeting of the membership. |
| | Candidate Qualifications & Considerations
|
| | Please consider the following in making your nominations.
- First and foremost, only nominate individuals who have indicated a willingness to invest significant time and effort into being a Trustee. These are working positions of responsibility.
- Ideally, Trustees attend an annual Board of Trustees meeting held
to coincide with the annual conference and two mid-year meetings (one usually in
London in February coinciding with the ICE tradeshow and one usually in either May or June coinciding with either the GREF or
NAGRA conference). Trustees will also participate in numerous
email exchanges and multiple conference calls. Those unable to attend
the meetings in person are expected to join by phone.
- Think about geographical and membership representation in making your
nominations. For example, does the individual you plan to nominate come
from an already substantially represented region?
- In order to make a nomination, both you and the individual you are nominating must be paid members of IAGR in good standing.
