| The ISAF Council is the final decision making body of ISAF and comprises the ISAF President and Vice-Presidents, 28 members appointed by the MNAs, the Chairman of the ISAF Offshore Committee, a member appointed by the ISAF Classes Committee and a women’s representative. The Treasurer is also a member but does not have a vote unless he is a member in some other capacity, such as Vice-President. The Presidents of Honour are also non-voting members of the ISAF Council.
The 28 members above are appointed by Groups of Full Members as set out in Schedule A of the Constitution and may be nominated by any of the MNAs in that Group.
Nomination Deadline
Nominations for Council Members must be notified to the ISAF Secretary General by 12:00 UTC on Thursday 30 October 2008. The nomination letter must be signed by the MNA President or Secretary General (or equivalent in position).
In respect of the ISAF policy to achieve representation of both genders on the ISAF Council, I would like to remind you that it is ISAF policy that at least 20% of the Council should be drawn from each gender.
Nominations to the ISAF Council are covered in Articles 39.1 to 42 of the ISAF Constitution - www.sailing.org/constitution.
