The release added that upon receiving the necessary two-third of the signatures of the General Assembly in accordance with the GNOC Constitution, Article VII Section 7.1(b), it was unanimously agreed, during a bureau meeting on 10th August 2010, to declare the position of President vacant and for an Extraordinary Session be held to elect a new President.
