I want to take this opportunity to congratulate JCJP’s inaugural Editor-in-Chief (EIC), Lisa A. Fortier, DVM, PhD, DACVS on her appointment to Editor-in-Chief/Division Director of the Publications Division with the American Veterinary Medical Association.  Lisa has done a wonderful job during her tenure as EIC of our new Open Access journal, the Journal of Cartilage & Joint Preservation, and has put the new journal firmly on the map as the Official Journal of the ICRS. Her new appointment, however, has necessitated her stepping away from the JCJP editorship, effective July 1, 2021.

On behalf of the ICRS we would like to congratulate our member Prof. MD Leela Biant on having been voted as President Elect of the British Association of Surgery of the Knee (BASK). This is another very significant “first” as she is the first woman to hold the Post. Her term as President of BASK will be for 2021-22. Well done Leela!

According to our Bylaws, an electronic ballot has been held among all ICRS Members with voting rights between June 28 and July 12, 2019 to vote for the proposed bylaws changes in the Art. 4. Organisation – Section 6 Elections – Point e and Art. 4. – D. Auditor – Section 14. Auditor as well as to elect the upcoming ICRS Treasurer 2019-2021 between two candidates.  1183 Members with voting rights have been invited to cast their votes. 168 Members (14.34%) have exercised the right to vote.

The purpose of this message is to explain the process by which members of the new Executive Committee 2019-2021 will be elected and to open the electronic ballot for the following three businesses:
