R2: The directive linked to the new IRPs – election to the Oversight Committee and Council of Members in 2026
Resolution text
According to the proposed new Internal Rules of Procedure, two new bodies: the
Oversight Committee (OC) and Council of Members (CoM) are introduced. The
General Assembly recognises that
the election for the positions designated in these bodies can not take place at
GA 2026, as the election procedures were not defined in IRPs nor Statutes valid
as per 11.02.2025, i.e. the deadline for registration of candidates.
To allow OC and CoM to start work in 2026, the General Assembly decides that:
1. The members of the OC for the term 2026-27 will be selected by the Executive
Committee, at the latest, 90 days after the GA;
2. The CoM co-chairpersons and chairing MO for the term 2026-27 will be selected
by the Council of Members, at the latest, 90 days after the GA;
3. The changes in Statutes related to the OC and CoM will be prepared and voted
on at the 2027 General Assembly. The OC and CoM will be their legal basis, which
lies in the IRPs and this directive.
It is noted that this directive can only be valid in case of approval of the new
Internal Rules of Procedure.
Reason
Holding elections for newly introduced bodies would be contrary to the democratic principles of transparency and equal access to candidacy. At the same time, the lack of any transitional solution would prevent the bodies from starting the operations next year. Therefore, EC propose a temporary transitional solution.
