ICOMOS is issuing a worldwide Heritage Alert, our most consequential expressional of concern, to amplify awareness of the threat to the Philadelphia Police Administration Building and draw urgent attention to the imminent risk of loss of the internationally significant "Roundhouse" precast concrete building designed by the Geddes Brecher Qualls and Cunningham firm, engineer August Komendant and Eastern Schokbeton engineers.

In accordance with the ICOMOS Statutes, the 21^st General Assembly will elect the following members of the Board by secret ballot for a term of three years (09/2023-2026): a President, a Secretary General, a Treasurer, five Vice Presidents and twelve Board members. As the Board will be elected first, candidates for the Bureau are required to indicate whether if elected they intend to stand for the Bureau.

Committees and members planning to submit a draft resolution to the 21^st General Assembly are invited to take into account the following four articles of the Rules of Procedure, which refer to the early submission and processing of resolutions.
