GIVING DAYHelp us to ensure a meeting accessible to all members

ICOMOS has decided as an exception to waive the registration fee so that this first online General Assembly can be accessible to all members and benefit from the widest possible participation.

We wish to invite you to make a donation via the ICOMOS 2020 Giving Day platform so as to support us in covering the costs of the event (interpretation, voting and meeting tools). We need to raise 15 000 €. By giving 30 € you will cover the cost of your own attendance. Not everybody will be able to give. If you can donate more – please do so.

Working Documents and Voting

The General Assembly working documents and draft resolutions are now available at this link.See below the information sessions and calendar for sending written questions on any working documents or draft resolutions ahead of the General Assembly.

The agenda includes all the items that are part of the General Assembly. Items blocked in grey will be addressed during the online sessions (and for some also on the voting platforms) and items in white will only be the object of voting on the voting platforms. All timings for items are tentative.

Except for the business resolutions on 3 December, all other voting (for the Board elections and other resolutions) will be done via successive online voting platforms (the same type we used for the July General Assembly). The voting platforms will be open for 24 hours in parallel to the meeting sessions – on the same days. Designated voting members will be provided with more information on how to vote nearer to the date (see also the information sessions below).
