Agenda, timetable and notes


Extraordinary Standing Committee Meeting 2003

March 12 to 16, 2003
Hong Kong

The current financial situation in WSCF has led to the Inter-Regional Office’s (IRO) decision to postpone holding the General Assembly (GA) in 2003, since then, the Officers of WSCF have also recommended various cutbacks to ease the financial burdens of the Federation. Because of GA being postponed to 2004, WSCF AP’s Regional Committee Meeting (RCM) was also affected as it has been a tradition to pledge the RCM alongside a GA if the RCM were to be held in a year when the GA is also being held. The Standing Committee (SC) of WSCF AP thus made the recommendation to postpone the RCM until 2004. This recommendation was unanimously agreed by the exco-members in the WSCF. Hence, this Extraordinary Standing Committee (ESC) was called to meet to discuss on the pertinent issues especially on the financial situation of the whole Federation which will cause a tremendous effect on the regions. This Extraordinary Standing Committee Meeting was held in WSCF AP’s regional office in Hong Kong on 12-16 March 2003. [read on]
