The meeting agreed to support the proposal by the Executive Committee for a four year renewal of the contract of the Secretary General, Mr Anders Johnston, in line with the decision taken during the 120th Assembly in Ethiopia. This could lead to a vote within the Governing Council on the position of the Secretary General. Furthermore, both the Southern Africa Group and Africa Geopolitical Group should look at proposing a candidate from Africa to take over the position of Secretary-General in future. A discussion around how this transition would take place should be held at the Africa Geopolitical Group meeting.
