The first purpose of the virtual General Assembly will be to review the
outcomes of the matters for voting. These include constitutional changes
recommended by the Officers and Executive Committee (as outlined in the
appendix to the letter from the CODATA President); and approval of proposed
composition of the Nominating Committee. All these matters for voting will
be handled via an online voting platform ahead of the virtual General
Assembly. Delegates to the virtual General Assembly received detailed
information on the matters for voting and have been invited to cast their
votes.

The second purpose of the virtual General Assembly will be to provide an
opportunity to update the delegates and membership on CODATA’s activities
and achievements in 2020 and to highlight key activities and dates in 2021.
