The Board Meeting of February 15, 2022, after noting the impossibility of carrying out the
elections in the manner prescribed by the constitution, defined the voting procedures that
the WAPR will exceptionally follow over the next few weeks.
The various phases of the elections will be managed by an Election Committee appointed
by the Board Meeting. The Electoral Committee is made up of: Gabriele Rocca (Chair),
Murali Thyloth (Current President) and Ricardo Guinea (Former President) with the
support of two Observer: Christine Lingjærde and Max Lachman.
Procedure:
1. The Election Committee publishes a list of candidates who can be elected together with a separate list of the number of votes possessed by each eligible country according to the paid dues (both lists in two tabular forms).
2. Each national branch appoints 1 delegate who has the right to vote for all the eligible posts, in discussion with the national branch.
3. The name of each country delegate and their email addresses are to be sent to the electoral committee (all 3 members) and to the 2 Observers.
4. The country delegate sends the table with the list of candidates and the number of votes awarded by that country, back to the 3 Committee members and to the 2 Observers. The file has to be in PDF.
