1. Opening

President Bob Henderson called the meeting to order and requested the observation of a moment of silence in honour of friends and colleagues lost in the previous year.

1.1 Roll Call

The FAI Secretary General Max Bishop called the roll of the meeting. It was determined that 30 votes were present including proxies of Iceland to Sweden and Colombia to Spain. Thus 16 votes would be required for an absolute majority on any ballot and 20 for a 2/3rds majority. Two delegates arrived later during the morning, making a total of 32 votes, requiring 17 votes for a majority and 22 for a 2/3rds majority.

The FAI General Secretary again called the roll in the beginning of the second day, the 5th March. Members and proxies present totalled 32 (absolute majority 17; 2/3rds majority 22), later in the morning 34 votes were present, including another proxy from Argentina to New Zealand. (Absolute majority 18, 2/3rds majority 23). During the second half of the afternoon the number of votes was reduced to 31. (Absolute majority 16, 2/3rds majority 21)

Apologies were received from Iceland (proxy to Sweden), Venezuela (proxy to Spain) and Kenya.

The President noted that two late proposals had been received after the Agenda close-off date and stated that according to the FAI By laws these proposals would need a 2/3rds majority to be accepted for discussion.

The FAI Office will send out an Attendance List attached to these minutes, and make it available at the FAI web.
