The specific edit to our Bylaws we are recommending is as follows:

The Executive Board must have members from at least two different countries at all times.

The related change to the Operational Procedures as a result of the addition of this bylaw would be as follows:

Global Representation Requirement

  1. Board Composition:
    • The Executive Board must have members from at least two different countries at all times.
  2. Nomination Guidelines:
    • Nominations may be limited to candidates from specific countries if needed to meet the global representation requirement.
    • The Nominations Committee will review the current board makeup and may restrict nominations from countries that are already well-represented.
  3. Election Procedures:
    • If a country is overrepresented, nominations from that country may be suspended for the next election cycle.
    • Suspensions remain in effect until balance is restored; then nominations from that country can resume.
  4. Implementation and Review:
    • The Nominations Committee will conduct an annual review of the board’s composition and adjust nomination procedures as necessary to maintain global representation.
