For a second year, World Sailing will hold its 2020 Annual General Meeting and General Assembly online only due to the global challenges caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Abu Dhabi in the UAE had been scheduled to host World Sailing’s annual conference in 2020 and then it was postponed to October 2021. Now delegates have been informed this month that these plans too have been scrubbed.
World Sailing’s board of directors will again hold the AGM and General Assembly electronically, in accordance with a written special resolution approved by its member national authorities.
In addition, all commission, sub-committee, committee and council meetings that would normally take place during the conference will also be hosted electronically.
Cork's Marcus Spillane is serving as a World Sailing Vice President.
