Dear Area Representative,

The SPA Executive Committee are proposing to reintroduce an International Selection Policy. This is attached to the covering email in its entirety (https://tinyurl.com/3upbssn3). Please note this proposal is put forward in line with the agreement at the 2019 December Meeting (minutes attached also for reference), section 5.2 Proposals.

Due to time constraints associated with the implementation of such Policy, it is hoped to have this in place for the 2023 International Selections, the Executive Committee are asking you to canvas your members and return your Area’s vote on the following:-

1.    Do you agree with the introduction of the International Selection Policy, as proposed in full and attached to this covering email?

Please Answer: Yes or No

Please ensure your Area’s vote is submitted to spa-im@hotmail.co.uk by no later than 12 Noon on Thursday 1st December 2022.

After this time, the votes will be counted, correlated and the result announced.

It's a Yes from me.

Hi Bash, was this proposal passed and being implemented going forward or is it simply Captains pick? Just curious for future interest.

Hi Hammy,

Yes, this was passed and voted in. The Selection Policy is due to come into force from 1st January 2024.

Cheers,
Bash
