Subject: Agenda of the Thirty-Third IPSC General Assembly
INTERNATIONAL PRACTICAL SHOOTING CONFEDERATION
Agenda of the Thirty-Third IPSC General Assembly Clark Freeport, Philippines
Sunday, October 18, 2009, 9:00am
It is the intention of the IPSC Executive Council that the General Assembly be conducted in a businesslike and amicable manner. Except where specifically permitted by the IPSC Constitution, motions will not be accepted from the floor of the meeting. Motions may be amended provided the motion maintains the original intent. If the President and Executive Council deem that a proposed amendment is intended merely to invalidate proxies, the proposed amendment will not be allowed. In this manner, Regions that are unable to attend will have the opportunity and right to vote by proxy on the agenda motions and the Regional Directors present will have had the opportunity to consult with their Regional Directorate prior to the meeting.
Proxy <form>
If a Regional Director is unable to attend the General Assembly, they may register their votes on the motions by proxy, or the Regional Directorate may appoint another voting representative. In this case written confirmation signed by the Regional Director must be presented to the IPSC Secretary before the commencement of the meeting.
ADMINISTRATION:
1) IPSC Secretary to present the list of voting Regions and proxies held
Voting Regions -- Our records show that the following Regions are in voting position. If there is any question concerning voting eligibility, please contact this office immediately.

Furthermore, if there is a separate Motion on the Agenda of this Assembly to the effect that the Isle of Man be provisionally accepted for affiliation, such Motion shall be withdrawn.
