The following were nominated and elected to the committee: • Ken Walsh (Leader) • Rafael Sacks • Patricia Tzortzopoulos • Thais Alves • The business meeting confirmed that IGLC 19 will be held in Lima, Peru. • The meeting voted to request Iris Tommelein and Christine Pasquire to take up the role of scientific editors for IGLC 19.
