MOTION NO.2
IRO AS ELECTED POST (Contd…)
Speakers FOR Amended Motion:
Tr. Sahil Jindal RT246 supported the motion as IRO is elected post across the world. Tr.
Christopher mentioned that this is much needed and strategic as per current scenario, it is
difficult for President to deliver after a year of intense work as President and this role requires
a lot of planning and our presence in International is important and we should have an IRO
elected and almost all associations have IRO as elected. Tr. Satyajit from DRT60 seconded Tr.
Christopher as RT India is growing. Tr. Ankesh Jain mentioned that this would help Tablers
from tier 2 cities to connect with international Tablers as there is a dedicated IRO who they can
connect with. Tr. Deepesh Kothari mentioned that many Tablers join Tabling late and this is an
opportunity for Tablers to file for IRO.
Speakers AGAINST Amended Motion:
Tr. Chirag Sethi mentioned that the IRO should be elected and yardstick should remain same
and if additional requisites are required for IRO, the same should imply for NVP, NS, NT. Tr.

the IRO is not a novice when elected and know his righthand responsibilities.
