In addition to the Executive Committee which administers the International Mathematical Union in general, various Committees and Commissions address specific issues on the IMU agenda. In general, Commissions are established by the IMU members and are supposed to have a long lifetime, see item IV. of the IMU Statutes, while Committees can be established by the EC and/or the IMU General Assembly, usually for a special short to medium term purpose.
Of very short term are the Committees set up and elected at the beginning of each meeting of the General Assembly. These are the
- Credentials Committee
- Tellers Committee
- Finance and Dues Committee
- Resolutions Committee
- Election Committee.
The roles these Committees play and the membership of these Committees at the last General Assembly in Bangalore can be found here.
Of particular importance is the election of the members of the EC, ICMI, CDC and ICHM.The election rules are described in the Procedures for the Election that were adopted by the IMU Assembly in Bangalore 2010. A IMU Nominating Committee forms the slates for the IMU EC, CDC and ICHM, while a special ICMI Nominating Committee forms the slate for the ICMI EC.
