The 48th FIG General Assembly will take place as part of the FIG Working Week 2025 in Brisbane, Australia on: Sunday 6 April at 9:00 - 16:00 AEST |
The General Assembly will be held onsite for delegates and observers who will be attending the Working Week in Brisbane
FIG President Diane Dumashie and her council are looking forward to greeting many members, presidents, heads of delegation and FIG representatives onsite in Brisbane, Australia. During the Assembly the Council, alongside chairs of Commissions, Networks, Permanent Institutions, and Task Forces, will provide updates on their ongoing work. FIG Council has received a nomination for Honorary Member, and there is a proposal for a change of leadership in one of the Permanent Institutions. Additionally, council proposes a change of FIG Internal Rules in regard to the election of Commission Chairs Elects.
The above proposal for change of the Internal Rules will beincluded in the online voting sheet. Hereto, there will be election of the 10 positions as Chairs Elects for the commissions. For Commission 3 (Spatial Information Management) there will be three candidates to choose between. The final election will be on the FIG Working Week 2029, for which there are two exciting candidates. All candidates, both for the commission chairs elects and destinations will be given time at the General Assembly to present themselves.
As in the previous years election will be taking place online during the Working Week utilizing the same voting system. All association members in good standing (meaning that they have no arrears) can cast their votes. Member associations are asked to register their official delegate and to participate actively.
In 2025 there can be up to 2 voting rounds. To conclude the election by the second General Assembly on Thursday 10 April, the first round of viting will commence on Tuesday 8 April at 13:00 AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time), aligning with the time zone of the Working Week destination, Brisbane. In case one of the three candidate will get more than 50% of the votes in the first round, this candidate will be elected. If no candidate gets more than 50% of the votes there will be a second round of election for Commission 3 Chair Elect between the two candidates with the most votes.
