GENERAL ASSEMBLY

 

The General Assembly of the FIA shall be composed of the delegations of the FIA Member Clubs, Associations or Federations, each headed by its President or his representative.

If in one and the same country the FIA has several Member Clubs, Associations or Federations, these Clubs may be represented by the same delegate, provided the latter belongs to one of the Clubs, Associations or Federations which he represents.

A Member Club, Association or Federation which is unable to send a delegate to the General Assembly may be represented by the delegation of another country's Club, Association or Federation; however, no delegation shall be allowed to accept more than 1 proxy. Votes by correspondence will not be accepted.

In addition, the President may decide to invite to the General Assembly any person who, either by the body he represents or by his own personality may bring useful assistance to the General Assembly.

The Ordinary General Assembly shall be held annually ordinarily at the Headquarters of the FIA. This Assembly shall fix each year the date and venue of the following Assembly.

The Annual General Assembly may decide to call, in the course of the year, meetings of other Extraordinary General Assemblies, for which it shall also fix the dates and venues.

Furthermore, either at the justified request of the Clubs, Associations or Federations of at least one fifth of the countries represented within the FIA, or following an appropriate resolution of the Senate, the President shall convene at the Headquarters of the FIA an Extraordinary General Assembly which shall meet within a period of 3 months from the decision or the request which shall include a well-founded draft agenda. To this compulsory agenda, each of the FIA World Councils may add any item it shall deem advisable to be dealt with by the Extraordinary General Assembly.

Notices convening General Assemblies shall be sent to the Presidents of the Member Clubs, Associations or Federations 2 months before the date fixed for the meeting. This period shall be reduced to 1 month and a half for notices convening Extraordinary General Assemblies, which must be accompanied by a complete agenda.
