The IOMICA 2007 Annual General Meeting of the World council will take place at the World Championships in Marseille. The most likely date is the 18th October, but we’re waiting for confirmation on date and venue from YCPR.

Assuming this date for the moment the timescales are as follows:

Proposals for AGM resolutions and nominations for Executive Committee positions should be lodged with the IOMICA Secretary no later than 09 August, that’s just three weeks away. If an Executive Committee position has no nominations by the closing date it will be extend to 6th September. (see Procedure for election of IOMICA Executive Officers at a meeting of the World Council)
A Notice of Meeting and final agenda will follow by 23rd August.

Each NCA will then have a further 4 weeks to produce their voting strength, number of registered owners and number of certificated owners; this should be lodged with the IOMICA Secretary no later than 20th September.

Please note that AGM resolutions and Executive Committee nominations will require owner ballot, evidence of which is required. Also, as this will be an “in person” vote, any World Council member not attending the meeting will need to arrange a proxy vote.

Downloadable documents (for use by World Council members and Exec Candidates only please):

• Candidate for Exec position (Candidates should fill in this form. Send toIOMICA secretary by 9 August 2007)
• Nomination for Exec position (Candidates require two nominations by World Council members. Send to IOMICA secretary by 9 August 2007)
• Proxy (World council members wishing to vote but not able to attend the meeting can vote by proxy. Send to IOMICA secretary prior to meeting)

There is no form for proposing resolutions. These may be sent by email to the IOMICA secretary by 9. August 2007. We encourage prior discussion of proposals on the IOMICA Forum.

A new meeting page has been set up: 2007 IOMICA AGM. This page will be updated when nominations or proposals are submitted.
Anyone with problems or questions should feel free to contact me or any member of the Executive Committee.

22 May 2005:

An Annual General Meeting of the World Council will be held at the IOM World Championships, Mooloolaba, AUS, in September 2005. One of the main items on the agenda is the election of the IOMICA Executive Committee for 2005-2007. The key process is that IOMICA Officers are nominated for their positions by World Council members, and the World Council elects the Officers its Owners want from the list of nominations. NCA Representatives shall vote according to the ballot of their NCA membership (ie their IOM Owners). The detail of the process will be similar to that used at the IOM Worlds 2003 at Vancouver. Please note that the closing date for nominations is 9 July 2005.

The IOMICA Executive Officers Election Procedure document, the Candidate form, and the Nominater form have been updated.

22 May 2005:

The voting strengths at the upcoming 2005 Annual General Meeting of the World Council are determined by the number of registered(ordinary resolutions) and certificated(special resolutions, eg. Class Rule changes) owners for each NCA (IOMICA regulations 4.13)

We have compiled a VERY PRELIMINARY list of the world council members and voting strenghts based on the owner lists IOMICA has received:
IOMICA World Council 2005 Annual General Meeting: Membership and Voting Strength (Preliminary, 2005 May 22)

Most of the owner lists we have right now are old and not complete. Our regulations provide for the submission of owner lists from NCAs a minimum of four weeks before the meeting. We thus ask all NCAs to submit up to date owner lists before the 18th of August 2005.

Very few of the owner lists submitted thus far by NCAs are clear enough for us to make a final judgement of voting strength. If certification status is not indicated or unclear we cannot make a decision on the number of certificated owners ! (thus many missing numbers in the preliminary table above). Please make sure that in addition to listing owners and their status the lists should clearly state the number of registered owners and the number of certificated owners. These numbers must not contain duplicates, i.e..
one registered owner owning multiple boats = one registered owner, and
one owner owning multiple certificated boats = one certificated owner.
