IORA Vice-Chair

The Secretariat will announce the vacancy for the position of Vice Chair of the Council of Ministers in writing to all Member States. The announcement is made at least six months before the meeting of the Council of Ministers.

Where more than one Member State offers to assume the Vice Chair of the Association, the Council decides on the Vice Chair by consensus.
