Agenda
44th General Assembly - 2021
Sunday 20 and Friday 25 June 2021
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to this 44th FIG General Assembly, and the first ever General
Assembly to be held online. The current situation that does not allow us to
meet in person gives us a unique opportunity to test this virtual format and
also to conduct a different General Assembly which we aim to make inclusive,
inspiring, informative and interactive.
An online General Assembly also gives this special possibility for many
more to participate - both official member representatives and all who have
an interest in what FIG is doing.
The 43rd General Assembly 2020 was postponed due to the outbreak of the
COVID 19 pandemic. This means that the General Assembly agenda items for
2020 are still open and need to be adopted at this General Assembly 2021.
In October 2020 it became clear to FIG Council and the organisers of FIG
Working Week 2021 that it would be unlikely to gather FIG representatives
and participants from the profession from all over the world in the
Netherlands in June 2021. The decision was made to transform the Working
Week into a purely digital format inclusive the General Assembly – into the
1st FIG e-Working Week.
The positive side of the virtual format is that there are no costs for
travel, visa, and accommodation and within the speed of light you can attend
from all over the world! The only thing you need is a stable
internet-connection. Between the different GA-sessions you can accomplish
the normal daily business or be with your family. Your attendance, and
especially your active participation (questions, ideas, proposals and
comments) are making the General Assembly vital and remarkable.
FIG Council encourages that you submit questions and comments in advance.
This will help make the sessions relevant and that specifically your
questions and comments will be responded to. It will be possible to ask
questions during the sessions, but the more questions and comments that can
be collected in advance the better we can structure and prepare in advance.
We ask for your active participation:
- Read this agenda with its attachments
- Submit your questions and comments – members,
individuals, persons with an interest in FIG… – you are all encouraged
to submit: https://forms.gle/2fu45zdn7J9zoFFv8
Special information to member associations: Please
submit in this second form the name and contact details of your official
delegate. This is needed in order to vote. Read more under “Voting” and
“Roll Call”.
https://forms.gle/B8WGoHRWMkUyReqW9
The following will explain in detail the format and procedure of the
General Assembly.
Go to:
Registration
The General Assembly will be held online through the conference platform
that has been selected for the Working Week, called Hopin. Hopin is a
software with the focus on a “virtual conference centre” where you can move
around and visit sessions, walk through the exhibition , networking
possibilities etc.
To register for the Working Week and General Assembly please go to:
www.fig.net/registration
Roll call
All members are encouraged to participate in the General Assembly (as
well as all other interested). With the appointment of an official
representative, FIG considers the respective member as being “present” at
the General Assembly.
Please note that only member associations in good standing will be able
to vote at the General Assembly. This means that the association does not
have unpaid arrears from 2020 or earlier. FIG Office will send out reminders
to all members in arrears. If you are in doubt whether your association has
unpaid, please contact FIG Office at
FIG@fig.net. Payment of arrears must be received before 10 June 2021 in
order for the member association to register and to be included in the
voting. Later payments will be considered as not received in due time.
All member associations will be asked to appoint their official delegate
the latest on 1 June 2021. This will be done through a google questionnaire.
In this questionnaire we also ask you to submit your questions and comments
to the agenda items.
https://forms.gle/B8WGoHRWMkUyReqW9
NOW CLOSED
Roll call - registered members
added 17 June 2021
If you cannot access the google form, please contact FIG-Director Louise
Friis-Hansen to receive the form directly (in .doc format)
LFH@fig.net
Please note: All who want to attend the
General Assembly, including the official delegate must also register to
the
e-Working Week to get access to the General Assembly
Agenda for the General Assembly
The agenda for the General Assembly can be found in this document after
the introduction. (link). The General Assembly sessions will not go through
each agenda items in a traditional manner. There will be in total four
sessions of each 2 hours. Two sessions on Sunday 20 June 2021 and two
sessions on Friday 25 June. Council hopes that the sessions will be
inclusive and encourage a dialog – as much as is possible online. For that
reason, you will find here a link to a form in which you can write your
comments and questions to each of the agenda items. Selected comments and
questions will be addressed in the sessions.
Link to google form:
https://forms.gle/2fu45zdn7J9zoFFv8
To make the sessions relevant you will find written reports in the agenda
as usual. Oral reports will be replaced by short video-reports and/or
presentation slides that will be submitted by 20 May.
Time Zone
The challenge of such a global event will be the different time zones. It
will never be possible to organise the sessions in a time that will fit to
all. Unfortunately, some of you will experience that the sessions are not
well fitted to your time zone. In 2021 the General Assembly was planned to
take place in the Netherlands but was changed to online. For that reason we
announce all times in this time zone (CEST – Central European Summer Time)
which is UT (Universal Time +2 hours, and the General Assembly will be held
during the day-time CEST due to the fact that Dutch studio facilities and
Audio Visual experts are being used to help with the transmission of the
General Assembly.
General Assembly Sessions
Session 1 is called “Presidents and council session” –
and takes you through the General Assembly agenda. Since the agenda items
from 2020 have not yet been adopted these motions are also included in this
agenda for 2021, and you will find a link to the agenda items 2020.
Session 2 will introduce you to the candidates for the
Vice President positions, Commission Chair candidates and destination for
the FIG Working Week 2025.
Votings will start after this session
Session 3 will present the results of the voting.
Hereafter the session is dedicated to the Task Force on Governance; the
report from the Task Force, and the response from Council. There will be
discussions in breakout rooms on selected topics. Please send your comments
and questions in advance.
Session 4 will concentrate on the work of FIG; the work
of the commissions, networks, task force and permanent institutions. Reports
can be found in the agenda, and the session will include questions and
comments from you. Please remember to include your questions and comments in
the questionnaire
Link to google form:
https://forms.gle/2fu45zdn7J9zoFFv8
VOTING AND ADOPTION OF AGENDA ITEMS
We will be using an online voting system called Simply Voting (https://www.simplyvoting.com/).
In order to make sure that each member association can vote (due to the
different time zones and eventually instable internet connection) we will
give you sufficient time to cast your vote. When a voting ends FIG Director
and the appointed tellers, will get a certified report from Simply Voting
with the result. In case a delegate is not able to access the system the
tellers can confidentially assist with the cast of vote.
All member associations will be asked to appoint an official
representative for the voting. Submission of the official representative
must be done here:
https://forms.gle/B8WGoHRWMkUyReqW9
Please note: It is important that we get a valid email
address for the official representative. The links to the voting sheets will
be sent to the email address that you provide to us, and only this one email
address. You cannot enter more than one email address.
Two different and parallel voting processes
The official representative from each member in good standing will
receive emails coming from simplyvoting.com with a link to the voting sheet.
The system ensures that it is not possible to see how the votes are cast.
There will be two parallel voting processes:
- Election for the two Vice President posts
- All other agenda items
Process 1: Election for the two Vice President posts
Two Vice Presidents must be elected. There are three candidates. This
means that at least two voting rounds are needed, and maybe three. According
to the statutes:
IF: one candidate gets 50% or more votes in the first
round this candidate is elected. Election continues to the election of the
2nd candidate between the remaining two candidates.
IF: no candidate gets 50% of the votes there will be a
new round of voting for 1st candidate between the two candidates with the
most votes.
| First voting round
|
Start: Sunday 20 June 16:00
CEST
End: Monday 21 June 16:00 CEST |
| Second voting round * |
Start: Monday 21 June 17:00
CEST
End: Tuesday 17:00 CEST |
| Third voting round ** |
Start: Tuesday 18:00 CEST,
End: Wednesday 18:00 CEST |
* with EITHER 2nd round for the 1st candidate
OR voting for the second candidate among the two remaining
candidates.
** if needed |
Process 2: All other agenda items
The voting sheet for all other items will include the following topics:
- Adoption of the president’s report
- Adoption of the audited financial reports from 2019 and 2020, the
written financial reports and the budgets 2021-2024 2020
- Adoption of the motions of agenda items for 2020 and 2021 that do
not require voting
- Adoption of the candidates for commissions 1-9
- Election for the post for Commission 10
This voting will take place
over 4 days |
Start: Sunday 20 June 17:00
CEST
End: Thursday 24 June 9:00 (AM) CEST |
Please be aware that when you have cast your vote, you cannot undo or
change your voting.
For each new round of voting, all official appointed member association
representatives will receive an email from
www.simplyvoting.com with a
link to the voting sheet.
The voting system is generating anonymous replies which means that no-one
can see who has voted what. Further, no-one can see the result until the
voting round has been finalised. A reminder will be sent at a certain time
before deadline from the system to those who have not voted. All this is
done automatically.

outside Venezuela. As a result of the very deep economical and political
crisis in Venezuela, many professionals and students have had to move
worldwide. The exodus is between 5 and 6 million people. Nowadays many
surveyors, geodesists, geomatics, geospatial professionals, and students are
trying to settle down in different countries. SIGGMA was created to gather
and provide strategic support to all of them.

17. TASK FORCE ON FIG GOVERNANCE
The Task Force on the Future Governance of FIG is an internal Task Force
focusing on an evaluation and proposal of potential changes of the current
FIG Governance. Chaired by Vice President Diane Dumashie, it draws upon the
work from earlier Task Forces, including the TF on Commission Structure. It
aims to investigate the structure of the federation.
The Task Force has conducted several consultation rounds. A first round
with the purpose to narrow down the topic, which resulted in the definition
of three main areas and seven sub-topics; and a second round to get comments
on these seven sub topics. Findings and recommendations are collected in the
Task Force report.
17.1 Task Force report and Council response
FIG Council has prepared a written response to the report and to its
recommendations.
On 25 June 2021 there will be a General Assembly session concentrating on

Decision:
17.2 Establishment of an Engagement Committee
One recommendation of the Task Force on Governance is to establish an
informal Engagement Committee to create interest, motivate and encourage
qualified people and member associations to apply for volunteer senior posts
in FIG.
FIG Council suggests establishing already now an informal Engagement
Committee as described in the Council response, Key issue E, for a trial
period from now and until 2025. Appointed in June 2021, the committee could
assist in promoting the search for the next President and two Vice
Presidents (to be elected in 2022) and to help search for new Commission
Chairs for the following term (2027-2030) that should be elected in 2024 or
2025 (if following the suggestion of council to postpone the election of
commission chairs elects by one year. This suggestion needs further
investigation and may be brought to the General Assembly for a final
decision after further investigation at the General Assembly in 2022).
Motion: That the General Assembly agrees that Council establishes an
informal Engagement Committee for a trial period until 2025 resulting in an
evaluation whether to continue this model.
Decision:
On 25 June 2021 there will be a special session on the task
force findings, the council response and selected topics of
interest.

option and are encouraged to comment and ask questions in advance

20. DECISION ON THE VENUE FOR FIG WORKING WEEK 2025
The FIG Working Weeks are organised by FIG together with a local member
association. FIG will together with the local member association have full
responsibility of the arrangements and of the financial result. This offers
FIG better opportunities in terms of organising events and generating
revenue. Therefore, the Council has to ensure that all candidates are aware
of the role of FIG and split of responsibilities for organising the Working
Week. This General Assembly will decide on the host for the FIG Working Week
2025.
Due to the fact that the FIG Working Week 2020 that should have taken
place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands had to be cancelled, the Local
Organisers for the FIG Working Week 2021 from Ghana generously offered to
the Dutch organisers that they could organise the Working Week 2021 in the
Netherlands instead of Ghana. To compensate the Ghanaian LOC, Council
decided that FIG Working Week 2024 would be dedicated to take place in
Accra, Ghana. This means that the next open year is 2025. The two bidders
for 2024 agreed to postpone their bid to the General Assembly 2021 and to
cover the year 2025. FIG has however not asked the bidders to amend their
bids, and therefore the dates in the bids are still referring to 2024.
The FIG Council has received two bids to host the FIG Working Week 2025,
and FIG Council thanks the bidding member associations for their special
engagement and contribution to FIG.
The Council has prepared a desktop summary on the bids. In the summary
report the following considerations, as laid out in the invitation
documentation, are described for comparison:
- Rotation of the conferences (region);
- Country (hosting of earlier FIG events, experience);
- Member association (its activeness, commitment to FIG and the
Working Week, execution ability for local association);
- Supporting organisations (local support to the Working Week,
governmental support, financial support, general support);
- Host city (characteristics and interest from congress programme
point of view, host city attractiveness, host city offerings);
- Venue (price/affordability, location of venue, internet availability
suitability of rooms, size of venue, structure and layout of the venue,
catering, value for money, hotels nearby facilities for exhibition);
- Accessibility (flight connections, several access possibilities,
security, visa issues, air fare to destination);
- Safety and security (political stability, airport safety, city
safety, political stability in the country - rating must be 3 or
higher);
- Proposed dates (must meet FIG requirements, Following FIG statutes,
practical dates, availability of venue, other conferences at the same
time)
- Technical programme (coverage of all FIG Commissions, potential
partners, originality, special ideas);
- Technical tours (coverage of all FIG Commissions, originality, ideas
proposed);
- Social programme (attractiveness and variety, proposals for dinners,
attractiveness of offered dinners, proposals for tours, is the programme
following the overall FIG concept);
- Attendance (expectation of international, regional and local
attendance, realistic number of international and national
participants);
- Finances (estimate of surplus and financial risks, realistic fees
proposed, fees in an acceptable price range, difference between
international and national fees, realistic budget, estimated revenue);
- Sponsorship (estimate sponsorship and exhibition income, proposed
income, how realistic is proposed income, local sponsor offerings,
sponsor interest to conference);
- Why host (reason for hosting);
- Objectives and outcomes (thought through why conference should be
held at destination, difference to other destinations, short term
outcome, long term outcome);
- Suggested theme (thought of possible theme that fits to
local/regional situation);
- Events organised in the past three years (how experienced is the
host in organising events)
- Major events planned in the proposed city (many events might
affect the price level):
- Initiatives for sustainable conference environment (is host city,
venue and local host paying attention to environmental issues);
- New initiatives or activities (originality – but within the overall
FIG concept)
- What legacy to leave locally from the Working Week (with host,
hosting city, for the surveying community)
The Council has considered the bids and has decided to present the
submitted bids to the General Assembly for its decision:
- Australia: Brisbane, submitted by Surveying and Spatial Sciences
Institute (SSSI)
- Poland: Warsaw, submitted by Association of Polish Surveyors (SGP)
The General Assembly is invited to read the two bids carefully.
