The General Assembly were offered reports from Mirco Patarini (President), Kimmo Mattila (General Secretary), Harley Jones (Public Relations Manager) and Alexander Selivanov (Chairperson of the Music Committee).

The position of the CIA Ambassador, an Executive Appointment from 2009 was clarified and modified.

The call for nominations and voting will take place to coincide with the Winter Congress in Prague.
A full report of the meeting including the Official Minutes of the General Assembly will be available to the CIA membership in due course. The second session of the General Assembly will take place on Saturday. |
