After a period of review/discussion the Executive Committee has voted in favour for the upgraded Class Rules. The new class rules are published from now and will be effective from July 1st 2016. There is an introduction to the changes to help you quickly understand the proposed major upgrades in the rules.

After more than 12 months, the IRSA Technical Committee’s work on the rules has now reach the final stage of development. Many thanks from the Executive Committee for their tremendous work and the great development of the consistent and modern new ruleset for the international classes.

Proposal to amend motion 1 GA 2016 from IRSA EC

The DNM for GBR has proposed Motion 1 GA 2016 that a General Assembly be held annually.  Unfortunately, the Motion does not take the remainder of the constitution into account, and is not workable in practice.

The DNM for GER has proposed an amendment to Motion 1 GA 2016 that, in summary, requires an AGM every year and a General Assembly every four years.  This proposed amendment to the Motion solves some, but not all, of the issues with the Motion and with the constitution.

The IRSA Executive Committee is entirely in favour of improved reporting and feedback, and welcomes the intent of the motions to seek greater transparency and consultation in terms of a shorter reporting and feedback period between the EC and the DNMs.  Accordingly the IRSA EC proposed amendment to the Motion solves all of the issues with the Motion and with the constitution, ensuring a workable General Assembly every year coupled with a four-yearly election of the EC Officers.
