In preparation for the AGM, please be aware of the following:
- The Executive Committee has moved the following deadlines due to the late start to sailing and hence membership experienced by some NCAs:
- the deadline for publishing the list of IM24CA members will be two weeks prior to the AGM (October 24th) and the deadline for the payment of dues will be one week prior to the AGM (October 31st). This will provide additional time for the NCAs to complete their list of members.
- There will be an open Technical Committee meeting on Monday, September 28th at 12 pm PT / 3 pm ET / 8 pm UK / 9 pm CET / 10 pm EET / 5 am AEDT Sydney on Zoom. The purpose of the meeting is to review the technical proposals (see the list of Technical Committee submissions above) prior to the deadline for making revisions, October 9th, in case revisions are necessary or make sense based upon the feedback at this open meeting. To allow time to review the proposals in advance of the meeting, they will be published today. We would like to recommend that each NCA select one person to participate at this open Technical Committee meeting.
-
Nations are asked to confirm the name of their representatives or proxies and any observers as soon as possible to assist us in planning of the meeting.
-
If a World Council Member is unable to attend a meeting, his NCA may appoint a substitute for that meeting only. Such designations shall be in writing and received by the Treasurer/Administrator of the IM24CA prior to the meeting. Each NCA must inform the IM24CA Treasurer/Administrator of the name of their appointed World Council member or proxy substitute before the start of the AGM.
-
National Classes are also reminded that, as per Class Constitution, World Council representatives must be Full Members of the Melges 24 Class.
