By Ananda Tirtha das (GBC Corresponding Secretary)
Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
The 2021 GBC Resolutions have finally been released. Due to the global pandemic, it was not possible for the GBC Body to conduct in-person meetings and therefore the AGM 2021 was conducted online. Similarly, the 2022 AGM will also be conducted online.
To ensure online resolutions become final and binding, two resolutions were passed to change the GBC’s Rules of Order. These are included in the Resolution file.
During 2020-21, there were three avenues proposals were voted on:
1. by Correspondence Vote 2. during the Online AGM during which most proposals were voted on via the GEM software 3. via the weekly Zoom sessions
During the online AGM, the GBC Body met every Wednesday and Friday, and throughout the rest of the year continued to meet weekly on Wednesday via Zoom. The GBC discussed matters of global importance and continued to discuss and vote on proposals throughout the year; hence the delay in releasing the Resolution file.
The 2021 Resolutions have been legally vetted by the ISKCON Legal Department and also reviewed by the SABHA.
