The General Assembly may direct the Executive Board to establish any Division or other working group deemed necessary for the administrative or scientific work of the Union.
The General Assembly ordinarily meets at least every three years on the occasion of an International Congress organized under auspices of the Union, convening at least once during each meeting. The last meeting of the GA was in Singapore Sunday July 16 2017 For the draft minutes of this meeting click here. For minutes of previous General Assemblies click here.
