This was the first meeting of the newly elected IAOA EC. The IAOA EC
agreed to immediately elect president, vice-president and secretary.
After considering that there was strong agreement on the candidates to
elect, it was decided that a formal vote was not necessary. Following
the Statute, the following positions have been filled by acclamation: (012)
President: Nicola Guarino
Vice-president: John Bateman
Secretary: Peter Yim
Furthermore, the IAOA EC confirmed Laure Vieu as treasurer of the Association. (013)
The IAOA EC expresses its satisfaction for the quality of the four
above mentioned people and for the distribution of roles across
different geographical as well as disciplinary areas. (014)
The rest of the meeting concentrated on the organization of the
Assembly session taking place the same day in the afternoon. It was
decided to begin with the president presenting the status of the
association. As a way to introduce the IAOA EC members, it was decided
that each step in to present a different topic. Borgo was appointed to
chair the Assembly. (015)
The IAOA EC began a discussion to clarify the role of the advisory
board. This discussion will be the topic of a subsequent meeting.
Other initiatives have been mentioned, the IAOA EC decided to postpone
any further decision after the Assembly to have some guide from the
members on the association's priorities for this year. (016)
