IFIA General Assembly Meeting

The Ordinary General Assembly of IFIA is convened every two years at a time decided by the General Assembly or the Executive Committee. During this meeting, decisions are made on matters of critical importance for IFIA, including:

• Electing the President and Executive Committee members

• Defining IFIA’s general policy and program strategy

• Determining annual subscription policies

• Amending the Statutes

• Expelling members

• Determining and approving IFIA’s budget and financial report

• Determining and approving IFIA’s activity report

The Extraordinary General Assembly may be convened when deemed necessary by the President, or when requested in writing by at least one-fifth of the full members. The Executive Committee may also submit a report to the President proposing the need for such a meeting. The summons must include a preliminary agenda, and delegates may, within one month, add further items to it.

All members may participate in the discussions, but only full members hold the right to vote. Each full member has one vote. An absent delegation may also send its vote by proxy to the Secretariat for one or more items on the agenda.

Note:
According to IFIA Statutes, the presence of all members or their official representatives at the General Assembly is mandatory. Failure to attend will result in the cancellation of the absent institution’s membership.
