− | On 4 Dec 2019 [[Paul Elam]] announced a change in the way that future ICMIs will be organised. Different regions will now be able to organise ICMI events independently which may allow for more than one ICMI event per year. ICMIs in Australia or New Zealand must be approved by [[AMRA]], ICMIs in India must be approved by [[SIFF]] and ICMIs in Europe or North America must be approved by [[J4MB]].<ref>https://www.avoiceformen.com/a-voice-for-men/the-worldwide-future-of-icmi/</ref> Organisers of ICMIs in the various regions communicate regularly and will seek to avoid any clashes between the conferences. |
