The IAOA EC discussed the election procedure to take place in May 2010.

The organization of the EC election has to allow every member to cast a

vote independently of his/her physical participation to the Assembly of

May 13 in Toronto. Opting for an electronic voting, the election process

can be completed before the Assembly. The new EC officers will then take

duty during the Assembly and in that occasion will present goals and

plans of the new elected EC to the IAOA members.

The IAOA EC decided that next IAOA EC will consist of 9 people. Each

IAOA member can vote for up to 9 candidates.

The IAOA EC supports the communique of the Ontology Summit 2010. The

IAOA members are invited to personally endorse the communique. Also, the

IAOA EC will discuss how to include some of the points in the communique

as part of the IAOA activities.

The IAOA EC discussed budget issues related to the vote on the annual

IAOA budget. The 2009 annual financial report will be distributed shortly among EC 

members. The projected 2010 budget needs to be prepared based on the planned 

activities for this year. However, since the new EC will be elected in

May, there is a need to ensure that the projected 2010 budget does not put strong

constraints on the activities of the new elected EC. To organize the

budget in this sense, the treasurer needs  to have the figures of the

FOIS budget.

The IAOA association now has about 80 official members. The IAOA EC will

send a message to finalize the association Logo and to inform members of

the coming IAOA Assembly. Also, people registered to the IAOA-general

mailing list need to be informed that to vote and to be suitable

candidates for the IAOA EC they need to register as IAOA members.
