Governance, constitution and elections

The constitution

The constitution defines membership categories, the powers of the General Assembly, the composition of the Administrative Council and the mandate of the Secretariat. Amendments require a two-thirds majority of members voting at a General Assembly convened during ICASA.

Election cycle

• Nominations open six months before the General Assembly.
• Candidates must hold two consecutive years of membership.
• Zonal ballots are issued through the member portal.
• Officers serve a two-year term, renewable once.

Accountability

Annual audited accounts, the ICASA conference report and a governance report are tabled before the General Assembly and published in the resource library in both working languages.
