A General Assembly after AGA25
AGA26 follows the Annual General Assembly of 25 and 26 October 2025 in Monastir, which presented the 2024 reports and opened the 2026–2030 strategy to youth focus groups. The 2025 assembly is documented on its own page. AGA26 is the next step: the members decide on the changes proposed to the statutes, hear the reports and elect the bodies that will carry the institute forward. The formal convocation prevails over any summary on this page.
Two sessions, one day
The Assembly meets in two parts. The extraordinary session decides on changes to the statutes. The ordinary session hears the activity and financial reports and holds the elections. This order is proposed and the convocation prevails.
The draft agenda is as follows; the official agenda is the one in the convocation, and every item is subject to the Assembly’s decision.
- Extraordinary session: raising the Board from seven to nine members.
- Extraordinary session: a new article creating a Youth Board.
- Extraordinary session: a transitional text so that these changes apply as soon as they are adopted.
- Ordinary session: the activity and financial reports, and the auditor.
- Ordinary session: the election of the Board and the election of the Youth Board.
Date, place and second meeting
The Assembly is set for Saturday 28 November 2026 at the Hotel Dar Ammar in El Djem (Mahdia). The start time is confirmed with the convocation. If the quorum is not reached, a second meeting is set for Sunday 13 December 2026; the convocation states which items move to it. The programme of the day, the meals, the dress code and the session languages are to be announced with the convocation; this page does not guess them.
How members take part in governance
The General Assembly is the supreme body of the association. It elects the Board by secret ballot, approves the reports and the accounts and decides by a majority of those present. Changing the statutes is for the extraordinary session and requires two thirds of those present. Voting is reserved for members admitted under the statutes: registering to attend does not make anyone a member and gives no right to vote.
Members take part by attending, by speaking and voting on each item, and by standing for election to the Board or the proposed Youth Board. The Youth Board is a proposed new body that would give young people a voice in governance; its size, term and powers are for the Assembly to decide.
How to register and attend
Attendance is by registration, for invited members and guests. Registration is made on the AGA26 page, in a form that offers roles including candidate for the Board, candidate for the Youth Board, existing member, new member, guest and accredited journalist. The reply date announced was Friday 6 November 2026; people who have not replied should contact the Secretariat at Contact@tipcs.org.
Online attendance is possible as an observer only: it does not count towards the quorum and gives no vote. How to connect is announced with the convocation.
Venue, access and your data
A booking site lists accessible rooms at the hotel; the hotel has not confirmed this, so participants with access needs should tell the Secretariat in advance. Data entered in the form is used only to organise the Assembly, under the privacy policy and Organic Law 2004-63.
After the Assembly
The convocation, the official agenda and the voter-list dates will be announced by TIPCS. After the Assembly, this page will be completed with the record of the day, the decisions taken and the photographs, shown with the consent of those pictured. For questions, write to Contact@tipcs.org.
Documents
Governance and legal frame
Under Decree-Law 2011-88 of 24 September 2011 on associations, the General Assembly is the supreme body of the association. The convocation, the agenda and the decisions of AGA26 follow the statutes of TIPCS; the formal convocation prevails over this page.
If the Assembly adopts changes to the statutes, the Decree-Law requires them to be notified within one month and made public (article 16). The accounts and registers are kept (articles 39 and 40) and documents are kept for ten years (article 42). Where an auditor is required (article 43: above 100,000 TND, appointed by the ordinary General Assembly for three years), the financial statements and the audit report are published within one month of their approval. Foreign funding is made public within one month of the decision or receipt (article 41), and conflicts of interest of members and staff are governed by article 18.
Registering to attend expresses a wish to be present; it does not admit anyone as a member and gives no right to vote, which belongs to members admitted under the statutes. Personal data entered in the form are processed under Organic Law 2004-63 and used only to organise the Assembly.
To be completed after the Assembly: the minutes, the attendance sheet, the resolutions and, where adopted, the amended statutes with their notification. This summary is not legal advice and has not been reviewed by counsel.
