General
FIG is administered by its General Assembly – delegates of the
member associations and, as non-voting members, the Council, commission
chairs and representatives of affiliates, corporate members and academic members
– which meets annually during the FIG working week or the FIG congress.
The General Assembly debates and approves policies. Polices are
implemented by the Council which meets at least twice a year (and usually
meets or teleconferences in the intervening months).
The General Assembly appoints the Council, which consist of the the
President of FIG and four Vice Presidents. The President and two Vice
Presidents are elected at the General Assembly during the Congress year
and two remaining Vice Presidents at the General Assembly two years
after the Congress. In addition commission chairs appoint their
representative to the Council (ACCO representative).
The work of the General Assembly and the
Council is assisted by an
Advisory Committee of Commission Officers (ACCO); ad hoc task forces
appointed from time to time to review existing work plans and develop new
strategies; and two permanent institutions: the Office International de
Cadastre et du Régime Foncier (OICRF) and the International Institution for the History of Surveying and
Measurement.
