The AICC would like to express our sincere condolences over the recent events in Mumbai and extend our sympathies to those who have suffered. These terrible events and the resulting changes in travel policies and restrictions for members, and anticipated processing times for visas have all had a negative impact on our shared plans.

After much thoughtful discussion within the AICC, the Executive Committee made the decision to defer meeting in Mumbai until a later date in order to make it a more effective and productive meeting for everyone. The AICC would like very much to reschedule Mumbai as international venue in the near future and hope that we can work with our local members to arrange this in an upcoming year.

The previous agenda will remain available online with suitable notation, so that those who have made travel arrangements can contact the hotel.

If necessary, the AICC may schedule a contingency meeting to sustain business continuity. No decisions or arrangements have been made.
