FEI Board Meeting I - Wednesday 18 November 2020 wrap-up

A summary of the key discussions and decisions from the FEI Board Meeting I (via videoconference), part of the FEI Online General Assembly 2020, can be found here. The wrap-up provides a comprehensive summary of all the key topics addressed, including allocations, appointments and Resolutions, as well as extensions to existing Resolutions in relation to Covid-19. 

We would like to highlight that several of these Resolutions were passed as Emergency Board Resolutions under Article 20.3 of the FEI Statutes, and National Federations therefore have until 19 December 2020 to signify their disapproval by sending an email to Francisco P. Lima, Director Governance & Institutional Affairs.

The FEI Board approved the new timetable for the FEI General Assembly 2020, which will be held electronically due to Covid-19 social distancing requirements and travel restrictions. Please note the dates have been moved due to all parameters which had to be taken into consideration for the organisation of an online General Assembly.

The  FEI General Assembly 2020 will be held electronically, following the cancellation of the in-person meetings planned for Johannesburg (RSA) in November due to Covid-19 social distancing requirements and travel restrictions.

The FEI Board also voted unanimously to allocate the FEI General Assembly 2021 to South Africa.

The FEI is currently considering a number of electronic solutions for running the General Assembly online. Details will be communicated to National Federations in due course.
