IECA Constitution

The class voted to approve a new Constitution during a voting period that ending 6 February 2022. In order for that Constitution to become effective, the class has been working with World Sailing to satisfy Regulation 10, which requires that World Sailing have an opportunity to review and comment on the new Constitution. 

Due to the large amount of time required in the process, recent changes to the World Sailing Review schedule and procedures, and the subordination of the project to much bigger issues such as COVID and the Ukraine, the IGC voted to invoke Clause 13G in the Association Rules, which permits the IGC to extend the period or date established for processing a proposed amendment, in the event that it has proved impossible to discharge the IECA’s obligations to WS on the established schedule. As a result, the approval deadline of the new Constitution was extended to 30 March 2022.

The IGC and WS are now happy to report that all approval conditions under Association Rule 13 and WS Regulation 10 have been satisfied. The IECA Constitution is therefore effective as of today, and has been published on the World Sailing website and the IECA website. The Association Rules are no longer in effect, and have been removed from the website.
