Please find copy of our voting strength document, and the outcome of the 2019 Ballot measure.  I have also provided a copy of the completed agenda that  highlights a couple of salient points raised by both Mr. Gavin Watson (GBR NCA REP), and Mr. Miguel Salvador (EPS NCA REP) in the “Discussion form the Floor” portion of the Agenda outline.  Both topics require a time bound response by the IOM ICA board, in addition to postings being made on our IOM ICA site.

I will send a World Council update when the historic financials are posted, and review with Mr. Pedro Egea the options for an online World Council Forum potentially within the IOM ICA page.

On a more somber note, I learned this morning that Mr. Fred Rocha (our IOM ICA Chairman) lost his father today.  Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers, as this must be a tremendously difficult time for the Rocha family.

Thank you all for your continued support, feedback, and participation throughout this AGM process.

With Kindest Regards,

Gary Boell

IOM ICA Secretary

After some further consideration and discussion, the NCA for CAN wishes to withdraw it proposal to change Rule C.7.4.

Our intent was to tighten up the current rule and make it clearer that this dimension on any rig was not to change during an event. We still feel it is a fairly misunderstood rule and will use the Request For Interpretation process to attempt to get that clarification.

Note that this is an election year and any and all board positions are available for new candidate nominations. Those nominations must be submitted by the closing date for resolutions (August 26^th)  so that the names can be published in the Agenda that will follow 2 weeks later. The one executive board position that has reached its term limit of eight years is the position of  VC– Measurement.  Mr. Lawire Neish has dutifully executed this function since 2011, and we all owe him a great deal of thanks. I have attached both the IOM ICA Candidate form 2019  and the  IOM ICA Nominator form 2019 for your consideration . If you would like to run for one of the listed positions below, or would like to nominate a candidate for one of these position, please complete and return the appropriate form by August 26^th.   The IOM ICA Executive Board positions are as follows:

• Treasurer                                                                        (No term limit)
• Secretary

An additional update that I’m happy to announcement is Mr. Bob Wells accepted the position to serve as Chairman over ourDocument Modernization Subcommittee.  The primary focus of his group’s undertaking, will be to update the terminology and language within our Class Constitution, Class Regulation, our NCA Memorandum of Understanding, and a myriad of other administrative documents that  are all in need of renovating. Bob’s background as a writer and editor will serve our class well in this capacity.

With Kindest regards,
