Regarding the FOIS 2014 conference, the EC discussed which meetings related
to the Association will be held during FOIS and which items are to be
presented at the physical part of the Assembly. A call for proposals for the
Assembly from the membership will be distributed in early August.

For the relocation of IAOA to Switzerland, Association Statutes and Bylaws
must be made compatible with Swiss law and regulations. This process has
started now thanks to Marion Haemmerli, who summarized first adaptations
that she has incorporated in updated versions of both documents. Fabian
Neuhaus provided additional comments on that basis. A meeting of the Bylaws
Committee will be held shortly in order to discuss open issues. After
adapting Statute and Bylaws, a preliminary request on tax exemption in
Switzerland will be submitted.

John Bateman reported on the recent first meeting of the Election Committee
for the 2014 EC Election. The election has been scheduled and several
details of the ballot were agreed upon. The official announcement of the
election will be distributed to the membership soon.

The EC was informed about the status of feedback from the ten Advisory Board
members whose four-year term expires at the end of 2014. So far six of them
have renewed their service to IAOA.

The Secretary reported on the need to reduce his service, significantly at
the latest from October 2014 on and until January 2015 (reelection in office
provided) due to other pressing obligations. Other EC members are ready to
increase their support during this period.

The transition of the IAOA infrastructure to new servers is getting close to
the completion of its major phase. Recently, all mailing lists were
transferred to the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg (OVGU), Germany.
