Abstract
Minutes of the 65th IFLA Governing Board meeting held on 7 April 2020 via teleconference. The meeting focused on urgent decisions regarding the World Library and Information Congress (WLIC) in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board unanimously resolved to cancel WLIC 2020 in Dublin and WLIC 2022 in Auckland, and to reschedule WLIC 2022 in Dublin. It also agreed to rescind the previous decision on the WLIC 2023 location and to issue a global call for hosting proposals, excluding Europe. Full refunds were approved for all WLIC 2020 registrations. The Board also noted the need to determine a new date and location for the 2020 General Assembly.
