45 Associate members with voting rights elect 3+3 Associate Representatives; 3 for ICC Board of Directors and 3 for ICC Chief Executive Committee and obviously they are mandated with exclusive roles that they will defend the interest of Global Associates and will not be involved to prejudice Associate members.
I think it is the time for ICC Associates to ask following questions their representatives:
- What happened to around $38 million USD surplus Fund for Associates, (after one time payment of around $4 million USD), which was forwarded to ICC Board via Development Committee after 2018 AM resolution?
(The answer available from elected AM reps sitting in Development Committee that the resolution was rejected by Board etc. etc. )
- What happened after original AM resolution was rejected by board?
(The answer available from elected AM reps sitting in Development Committee that 10 members Development committee with of 6+1 Associates voted and passed a resolution and forwarded the surplus
fund to Associate global Budget (Associate pool)
- Who authorize Associate representatives to substitute Associate members as the resolution was passed by general council Associate members because Associate members voted and mandated its representatives, not to substitute?
- Why some countries of Associate reps specially from EAP, Latin America, Europe are getting more funding from ICC soon after they become Associate member representatives and member of Development Committee?
(Please check their funding amount before and after been elected)
- Are their Data published in the ICC Census report genuine though there are serious proven doubts existed?
- How the same AM elected rep country from EAP got promoted to Associate membership earlier when he was also member of Development committee despite his country occupied last rank in the ICC global tournament in immediate previous year?
- The 3 Associate representatives in ICC Board have voting rights and will exercise to elect new ICC Chairman. For the first time in ICC history an independent Associate member is the interim Chairman since Mr. Manohar resigned and also the same Independent Associate member is one of the 2 candidates for ICC Chairman election. Under ICC regulation only 11 votes needed to become new ICC Chairman for next 2 years or only 6 votes needed for Interim Chairman, who is an Associate, to remain as Interim Chairman for next 12 months. Under honest and logical conclusion 3 Associate votes are expected from 3 Associate reps in ICC Board because it is highly likely that large majority of Global Associates want their Associate Candidate to get vote from Associate Reps and become the ICC Chairman with 11 votes for next 2 years or interim Chairman with 6 votes as permitted for the first time in ICC history. Then why such strong doubts are looming and roaming around against Associate votes for Associate Candidate?
- Will it be justified to contemplate that if Associate Candidate Imran Khwaja doesn't get at least 6 votes, where 50% votes are from Associates, including his own, taking into account that probably 2 full members who have nominated him and 3 other voting members who seconded him, LOST BECAUSE ASSOCIATE REPS DELUDED THE WISH AND WISDOM OF MAJORITY GLOBAL ASSOCIATE MEMBERS???? I AM LEAVING THE JUDGEMENT IN THE HANDS OF ALL ICC ASSOCIATE MEMBERS.
- Will associate members take the fate of Associate Representatives in own competent hands presumably in next month Associate members election so that they must choose appropriate 3 Candidates who will not move away from the mandate of Associate Members in future and will not work for own benefits.
