Ordinary Resolution:
The IABA Board of Directors, at its meeting on September 20th, adopted the IABA Rulebook. This rulebook has been the subject of two formal phases of consultation with clubs and members, in which proposals, amendment and commentary was invited:
- Phase One: 21st November and 21st December 2023.
- Phase Two: June 21st to July 19th
This consultation was through rules@iaba.ie, and the address has remained open from November 21st, to date, to capture any additional inputs by clubs and members.
Members will be invited to vote on an Ordinary Resolution to approve this rulebook as part of the EGM. “Does your club approve the adoption of the IABA rulebook, as adopted by the Board of Directors on 20 September 2024”
As this is an EGM, a quorum of 60 successfully affiliated clubs is required. Special Resolutions require 75% of ballots cast to pass; Ordinary Resolutions require a simple majority.
Registration for the EGM will open in due course.
