SR1: Delaying the General Assembly for the EU24 Elections
Motion text
Noting that
According to the 2022 Statutes and Internal Rules of Procedure (IRPs) the
General Assembly (GA) is held once a year. In practice, this is typically
from the month of May to the month of May the following year;
The 2022 Statutes and IRPs define the mandate of the Executive Committee
(EC) as one year;
The 2022 IRPs similarly sets out the periods of mandates of other organs,
based on elections at the GA.
Considering that
The upcoming EU 2024 elections will likely fall during the usual period in
which the GA is organised. Therefore, the GA will need to be organised
after the elections to prioritise FYEG’s EU24 campaign – in August or
September 2024;
This would result in the mandates of all the relevant organs elected at
the 2023 General Assembly lasting at least three to four months longer
than the usual mandate;
This would result in the mandates of all the relevant organs elected at
the 2024 General Assembly lasting at least three to four months shorter
than the usual mandate.
The Executive Committee requests, with the approval of the General Assembly,
that
The next GA take place after the EU 2024 elections, in August or
September, with all relevant deadlines adjusted accordingly;
And consequently to define a year as the period between GAs – striving as
far as possible to keep this in line with one calendar year (12 months).
Note: As the Statutes and IRP are being amended, assuming all changes
regarding mandates are adopted, this resolution will be, where necessary,
interpreted accordingly to account for these changes.
Reason
The text is discussing the timing of the General Assembly (GA) and the mandates of various organizations within it. According to the rules, the GA is held once a year, typically from May to May, and the Executive Committee’s mandate lasts for one year. However, the upcoming EU 2024 elections will likely happen during the usual GA period, so the GA will need to be organized after the elections. This means that the mandates of all relevant organs elected at the GA will last at least three to four months longer than the usual mandate. To address this, the Executive Committee proposes that the next GA take place after the EU 2024 elections in August or September, and that the mandates of all relevant organs are adjusted accordingly. They suggest defining a year as the period between GAs and striving to keep this in line with one calendar year. The text also notes that changes to the rules may affect this resolution.
