TIPI member assembly successfully conducted

New version of the statutes approved

With a total of 24 valid votes, the member assembly reached the quorum (minimum 16 valid votes) and was thus entitled to vote on the revision of the statutes and to elect a new council. The member assembly unanimously approved the new version of the statutes. The major change to the previous version is that from now on, all IFOAM affiliates (associates, supporters and members) have full voting rights in TIPI. Other changes mainly concerned the consistent use of terminology.
