We are pleased to share with you the background documents of the General Assembly, which will be celebrated in Daejeon on 13 October 2022, from 14:30-17:30 (KST), in the framework of the UCLG World Congress.
The General Assembly gathers representation of all the members of UCLG. It has the responsibility for the overall policy, direction and oversight of the World Organization. It will receive reports from the Presidency and from the Assembly and Town Hall tracks.
It will appoint the members of the World Council for 2022-2025, based on the electoral process taking place this year throughout the Sections. It will also ratify the appointment of the Vice-Presidents nominated by the Sections.
To facilitate reading, please find below the links to consult the following documents:
- Nomination list to the Governing Bodies: for adoption. Please note that this list is subject to final review by the Committee on Statutory Affairs, which will meet in Daejeon on 12 October. Potential up-dates will be reflected directly on the UCLGMeets platform.
The meeting of the General Assembly will be followed by a consultation on The Pact for the Future of the Planet: Transforming our relationship with our ecosystems, from 17:30-19:00.
The two sessions are organized in a hybrid format.
For your information, we also share the calendar of key events for 2023.
REGISTRATION
We kindly invite members to confirm their participation in the statutory track, both online and in-person, by filling in the attendance form. Please note that this form is NOT the registration for the Congress. Its aim is to confirm participation in the statutory meetings and plenaries, so that the team at the World Secretariat can proceed with the adequate arrangements in terms of seating and voting for members of the governing bodies.
[Note for online participants: The links to connect to the sessions are available on UCLGMeets.]
We remind you that registration for the whole Congress is available via the Congress registration page.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Please note that for national security reasons, the hosts will need to close the online registration process on 3 October. Onsite registrations will then be available as from 9 October.
