MATERIAL

Progress

The Task Force on Governance was established at the General Assembly 2019 during the FIG Working Week in Hanoi, Vietnam. Further to this there was a roundtable discussion.

September 2019 - February 2020

In the 2nd half of 2019, an online member consultation took place with a range of questions over the current structure of FIG; particularly the relationship with FIG statutes  including questions related to a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats). Please find here the findings and analysis:

March 2020

As part of the consultation with FIG members additional ideas and comments were encouraged, asking them to consider their view of the changing industry landscape, the future trends and impacts.

April 2020

For FIG Working Week 2020, the Task Force had planned three debating platforms.  Starting with a debate at the General Assembly, it was planned to follow with a roundtable meeting in which specific questions were to be debated. In addition further discussions were to be held in the FIG Member Associations and Regional Bodies Forum. Unfortunately the Working Week 2020 and General Assembly, was cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Instead, the chair of the Task Force Vice President Diane Dumashie will prepare a video presentation of the findings and questions for debate and we hope that you will contribute to this debate. Look out for more information on this.
