The 2011 CIMA Plenary tasked the President to submit a proposal to FAI Executive Board to change FAI Bylaws so the Colibri Diploma could be awarded in the manner it desired.

9.2. FAI By-Laws – CIMA Proposal – Colibri Diploma
A proposal for amending the FAI By-Laws had been submitted by CIMA President based on a decision made at the 2011 CIMA Meeting. The aim of this amendment was to clarify the nomination process for the Colibri Diploma. RHU provided more background information.
The proposal needed updating; the reference to Statutes 9.1.3.3 was no longer valid and should be replaced with By-Law 7.1.2.
Decisions : The Board approved
a) The By-Laws amendment as proposed by CIMA President.
b) The retrospective application of the new rule to allow the awarding of the Colibri Diploma 2011 at the Conference 2012
The accepted amendment for bylaws:
BL 7.11.1.4. Nomination and Approval. Proposals may cover any period of time up to the 31st of December of the year prior to the year in which when the proposal is submitted. Procedures for nomination and approval shall be as described in Chapter 9 of the Statutes.
