1. The deadline for publishing the list of IM24CA members will be two weeks prior to the AGM (October 24^th) and the deadline for the payment of dues will be one week prior to the AGM (October 31^st).   This will provide additional time for the NCAs to complete their list of members.
2. All National Classes are requested to send us a National Class Report as a short summary of your 2020 activities and situation now no later than November 2^nd! Fortunately, many of us have been able to sail and race, while, unfortunately, racing has been extremely limited or impossible in other locations in the world during the pandemic. 
3. Nations are asked to confirm the name of their representatives or proxies and any observers as soon as possible. - 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. 
The PROXY FORM with the fields for voting the submissions is available at the AGM 2020 website under Tab “Forms”. https://www.melges24.com/agm2020
