Colleagues, past ICGI elections have been subject to several challenges including 1) the 'nomination to candidate' process and 2) voter eligibility. Difficulties have arisen due to too many candidates being listed for a single position and voting eligibility irregularities related to membership. Each of the three proposed amendments have been approved by a majority vote of the ICGI Executive Steering Committee.

Members of ICGI are asked to vote one of the three options (Agree/Against/Abstain) for each amendment.
