and for the Executive Committee of ICOMOS
Mandate 2008 - 2011
16th General Assembly of ICOMOS, Quebec, 2008
At the 16th ICOMOS General Assembly in Quebec, the ICOMOS members, present at the General Assembly and delegated by their eligible National Committees to vote, will elect the officers and the ICOMOS Executive Committee for the 2008 – 2011 mandate (1 President, 1 Secretary General, 1 Treasurer General, 5 Vice Presidents and 12 Executive Committee members).
A call was posted and e-mailed to all National and International Committees, in accordance with Article 12.c. of the ICOMOS Statutes, inviting them to send proposals for candidatures, both for positions of officers and for ordinary members of the Executive Committee. Following this call, the ICOMOS International Secretariat, by 31 March 2008, received the nominations listed below (2 for President, 1 for Secretary General, 2 for Treasurer General, 6 for Vice President and 15 for the Executive Committee). All candidates to a position of officer which are not elected to one of these can automatically also stand for the Executive Committee.
In accordance with the ICOMOS Statutes, this list was forwarded, via the ICOMOS newsletter, for information to all ICOMOS members 120 days before the date of the General Assembly. In accordance with the Rules of Procedure of the General Assembly (art 54.1), the members of ICOMOS can still propose further candidates until no later than 5 p.m. on the first day of the General Assembly – 30 September, after which all candidature files will be handed over to the Candidatures Committee for verification. For information on what elements the candidature files must include, please contact the ICOMOS International Secretariat.
All candidates have been invited to address the ICOMOS membership with a short statement on their vision and ambitions for ICOMOS. These statements, as well as the candidate’s photograph and their brief curriculum vita, if the candidate provided them and only in the language versions they supplied, can be consulted by clicking on the name of the candidate below. The dossiers are provided in PDF format (Download Adobe Reader here).
The ICOMOS General Assembly, by resolution (Madrid 2002), also expressed the wish that the candidates adopt ethical behaviour consistent with the non-governmental and professional nature of the organization. The General Assembly also called for the establishment of transparent procedures to avoid any perception of conflict of interest with regards to the financial assistance granted to participants at the General Assembly. Financial aid must be administered by the International Secretariat in the context of the Victoria Falls Fund established for this purpose.
