Organisation
IVDA has a well-developed organisational structure due to its 40-year existence and the large number of students it affects. Control is split between three committees, broadly representative of the three arms of many governments (executive, legislative and judicial).
The legislative arm is the General Committee. This consists of one member from each member university club (usually the president or team captain of that club). The GC's role is to vote on amendments to the IVDA constitution. It holds (slightly misnamed) AGMs twice a year and optionally EGMs more frequently to decide such matters.
The judicial arm is the Standing Committee. This consists of either three or five members elected by the General Committee at the October AGM (at the beginning of the academic year). The SC's role is to make rulings regarding the interpretation of the constitution. The most common decisions are those relating to eligibility to compete.
The executive arm is the aptly titled Executive Committee. They are elected as a group by the General Committee at the July AGM (at the end of the academic year) and are responsible for organising the IVDC the following year.
The Association is constantly examining its structure and the constitution which is often discussed on the forum as well as at meetings.

Famous quotes containing the word organisation:
“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
