Minutes of the 57th National AGM
10 & 19. Motions
MOTION NO.2
IRO AS ELECTED POST
Proposed by NEX
Motion affecting the constitution Article 3 Section 1 Clause B
Requires 2/3rd majority
The International Relations Officer shall be an Elected Member of the National Board
and he shall be the Convenor of the International Relations Committee which will
consider, report on and promote all matters relating to goodwill in international
relationships and all matters relating to fellow Member Associations of RT
International, including international service and fellowship schemes.
EXPLANATION
Currently, the Immediate Past President becomes the International Relations Officer of Round
Table India.
Being the largest Association in the World, time has come for RT India to take a pro-active role
in the RT International platform. The IRO is a very critical responsibility in view of RT India’s
growing role in RT International affairs an IRO is required to Travel to World RT International
Meet, RT International Half yearly meet, RT International ASPA Meet, other RT International
Regional Meets and NAGMs of key associations like RT Netherlands, RT Nepal, RT Srilanka, RT
Belgium, RT South Africa etc with whom RT India enjoys a special relationship. IRO is the
bridge between RT India and rest of RT International, has to play a significant role in
promoting Project Twinning, Exchange Agreements and International Fellowship. This can be
better achieved if we can have a dedicated person who is independently elected as IRO. This
could be better than the current system of having the IPP as IRO by default.
