Evolution of the ICOMOS Statutory Documents

Extraordinary General Assembly
(on the occasion of the 19th General Assembly, Delhi, 2017)

As foreshadowed at the Annual General Assembly 2015 in Fukuoka, the ICOMOS Board was intending to call an Extraordinary General Assembly in conjunction with the forthcoming Annual General Assembly taking place in Istanbul in October 2016, for the purpose of making some amendments to the ICOMOS Statutes. The formal notice of meeting was sent in June 2016. Following comments by ICOMOS Committees, the Board decided in August 2016 to postpone this Extraordinary General Assembly. It was held on 12 December 2017 on the occasion of the 19th General Assembly (New Delhi 2017).

Annual General Assembly, Istanbul, October 2016

The revised Statutes adopted in 2014 made the then current Rules of Procedure obsolete in many respects. Taking into account the resolution by the 2014 General Assembly, the Board sought to have an initial group of amended Rules of Procedure approved at the Annual General Assembly in Istanbul in October 2016, so that they could be in force for the next Triennial General Assembly in 2017. This first group includes the Rules of Procedure relating to General Assemblies, and those for bidding to host a General Assembly and for assessing the bids.
