  3. The History of IGU • First Steps: • International collaboration in the gas industry has been started in the 19th century. Initially the primary use of gas was for lighting and the International Light Measuring Commission was set up in 1900 to coordinate standards. The body evolved into the International Commission on Illumination in 1913. • At the end of 20th years the idea of creation of the formal international union has appeared. • The next step was the convening of a meeting in Paris on November 25, 1930. • After the first meeting work started on preparing the draft statutes and a second meeting was convened in Paris to finalize them on May 8, 1931. • It was agreed that members would be entitled to nominate one or two representatives to the IGU Council, but that each delegation would only have one vote. Every three years the Council would elect a President and Vice Presidents. The President was given the power to fix the headquarters of the Union and appoint a Secretary General. In addition, it was agreed that the Union would hold conferences at intervals of three years and that the national association holding the presidency would host each conference.

  4. The History of IGU • The Foundation and Early Years of IGU: • On Tuesday, June 2, 1931, the First International Gas Conference opened in London. There were the representatives of seven founding members of IGU and they were accompanied by observers from Norway and the United States. • Representatives of the countries have distributed fields of activity and the responsibility. • Soon new members from various countries have joined them. • The second WGC in 1934 in Zurich attracted 495 delegates. Then was started a subject of usage of natural gas. As the committee on creation of the vocabulary of gas terms has been created at that time. This vocabulary has received approval at 3 WGC in Paris in 1937 on which there were 705 delegates. • Following WGC was to take place in Berlin in 1940. But has been cancelled because of the World War II. • World Gas Conferences were resumed in 1949 in London.

  5. The History of IGU The World Gas Conferences * The figure is for overseas delegates only. The First International Gas Conference formed part of the 68th AGM of the Institution of Gas Engineers, which ran from the 2nd to the 4th of June and was attended by some 1,500 people in total. ** The precise dates of the 25th WGC have yet to be decided.
