Extraordinary IMS General Assembly
All IMS members are invited to an Extraordinary General Assembly (EGA), which will be held online on February 11, 2025, 15:00 UTC. The IMS Directorium calls it for one reason:
- changes to paragraphs 1 and 15 of the IMS Statutes as proposed by the IMS Bureau according to paragraph 9 of the current IMS Statutes.
The modifications are necessary for the IMS to meet the requirements of a non-profit organization in the Canton Basel-Stadt (CH), the legal seat of the IMS. Only non-profit organizations are tax-exempt. The revision does not affect the governance, decision-taking, or the distribution of responsibilities within the IMS. If the request for revision of the IMS Statutes is successful, the amended IMS Statutes will come into force immediately.
All necessary documents were sent out via email. If you are missing information or have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Further details on how to join the online meeting will be sent to all members in good standing at least two weeks before the actual date of the EGA.
