66th IFLA Council and General
Conference

 

Jerusalem, Israel, 13-18 August 2000

Council Resolutions proposed by the Executive Board

Notice is hereby given that the following resolutions will be presented to Council at its meeting on Sunday 13th August 2000 to be held in the International Conference Centre, Binyanei Ha-Ooma, Jerusalem.

  1. That Rule of Procedure 8.3.4 be amended to read: "To be placed on the ballot a candidate for election [for a place on a Section Standing Committee] shall be nominated by one qualified Member".

    The present Rule reads:
    "To be placed on the ballot a candidate for election shall be nominated by one qualified Association Member or by no fewer than two qualified Members other than Association Members."
    Note: This proposal has been put forward on a number of previous occasions. Each time it was deferred, pending the completion of the recommendations of the Working Group on the Revision of the Statutes and Rules of Procedure. The Working Group has now recommended to the Executive Board that Council be asked to approve it. The Executive Board has agreed to do so, irrespective of the outcome of the decision on the proposed revised Statutes.

  2. That a new Rule be adopted:
    "5.1.4 (iii) Candidates for the post of President-elect shall be nominated by 10 persons. Nominees shall be representatives of qualified Members or Personal Affiliates in good standing."
    Note: the Executive Board will withdraw this resolution if Council does not approve the proposed revised Statutes. If they are approved, it will provide for the nomination for the new post of President-elect as provided for in those Statutes. It will enable elections to take place on the new basis in 2001. The term "good standing" means Members and Personal Affiliates who have paid their Membership/Affiliation fees in full for the last complete year before the election.

  3. That a new Rule be adopted:
    "5.1.4 (iv) Candidates for the ten elected places on the Governing Board shall be nominated by 5 persons. Nominees shall be representatives of qualified Members or Personal Affiliates in good standing."
    Note: the Executive Board will withdraw this resolution if Council does not approve the proposed revised Statutes. If they are approved,it will provide for the nomination of candidates for places on the new Governing Board as provided for in those Statutes. It will enable elections to take place on the new basis in 2001. The term "good standing" means Members and Personal Affiliates who have paid their Membership/Affiliation fees in full for the last complete year before the election

    The existing Rules of Procedure will, if Council approves the proposed new Statutes, be replaced by a completely revised set once the new Governing Board has had a chance to review them.
