IARU Region 3 Conference

The official Opening of the IARU Region 3 Conference was met with traditional dance.

There are a number of delegates attending in person in Bangkok Thailand. There are also several members attending virtually.

After the opening ceremony the conference got down to business dealing with agenda items. One of the first agenda items was a debate on the structure of the IARU R3. The meeting agreed to keep 7 voting positions on the executive. The position of Secretary was retained as a non voting member of the executive.

The position of chairman has been renamed to President and will be elected on by the triannual conference. A new position is that of Vice-President which is also an elected position.

The meeting then focussed on voting rights as the proposal was for each member of the executive to have a vote and it was agreed that the secretary would remain an non-voting member of the executive.

The other issue discussed at length was about exercising society voting It was resolved that only in person delegates can vote. Member societies can either appoint a proxy or attend in person in order to vote. Non attending societies can attend virtually as observers.

A number of reports including the Directors report and the secretary's report and a number of society reports were tabled.

The conference heard that the IARU are working towards the World Radio Conference due in 2027

Every radio amateur needs the IARU!
