elected separately, the Board constitutes itself. Members of the Board are
elected for three years, and their mandate can be renewed once. A member of
the Board may subsequently be elected as chairperson for a maximum of two

Executive Board at least four months before the triennial General Assembly
and shall inform the voting members of the names and qualifications of
candidates at least two months prior to the date of commencement of the
triennial General Assembly. A member of the Committee who is unable to
attend the triennial General Assembly may authorize, in writing, another
voting member to vote on his or her behalf at the election or may vote by
mail.
c. If a member of the Executive Board ceases to hold office for any
reason during the period between the triennial General Assemblies, the
position may be filled by co-option of another member of the Committee
until the next triennial meeting is held.
d. A member of the Executive Board shall cease to hold office if the
member:
- resigns,
- cannot attend the meetings of the Committee for any reason.

way of any member of the Committee attending the meeting, by the Government
of the host State.
