To jumpstart the Committee, Constitution, Officer Positions, and other items needed to steadily establish this organization, here's the plan at this point:
1) The "Beta" I.M.A.A. Committee will be established immediately after the first I.M.A.A. World Championships conclude.
2) The Beta Committee's first and primary job will be to agree upon a set of rules for the organization to run on for the rest of its existence.
3) Eligibility for the Beta Committee is as follows:
To be eligible, a nation must have:
-Signed up for at least one regular "Local" Competition during the First Circuit.
-Signed up for the I.M.A.A. World Championships
-Have posted at least once on the IC thread of any competitions competed in.
-Show an interest in being part of the Committee.
4) To clarify the above, a nation will not have to have used the same corps in every competition, as long as the nation itself signed up.
5) After World Finals, I'll compile the list of eligible nations, post the list, and TG each nation to see if they're interested.
6) Once I have every confirmation or rejection registered, the committee will meet to discuss the I.M.A.A. Constitution, and who the officers designated for the Second Circuit will be. The officers part is only if extra time is had. The most important area is creating the framework via the constitution.
7) After the Constitution is ratified, the Committee will elect Officers (either at the Constitutional writing or at a later date), likely the President and Vice President, and the Beta Committee will be dissolved.
The I.M.A.A. Second Circuit will begin with the President's discretion, and the new, official I.M.A.A. Committee will be formed via whatever rules are in place in the Constitution.
To accommodate for late interest such as Arcantova, one final Local Competition (name and time TBD) will be held to prepare for World Finals. I'd liken it to a Baptism of Fire/Iron I suppose. This will be to give nations a final chance to receive Beta Committee membership by signing up/posting in a Local Competition before Finals.
This is the plan I'm sticking with but if there's any problems feel free to point them out.
