RATIONALE

According to President’s report on Organisational Review and Reform Recommendations, this will ensure there would be continuity of the Executive Boards. Without this requirement, it is possible to have a completely new Executive Board with no experience for running the Federation, with exception of one Immediate past president who would serve only in the first year of the triennium.
