The group also discussed the appointment of the new CORI president as well as the nomination of the two Caribbean members to CORI.

It was decided that the candidate for the post of president should be the president of the Dominican Republic Red Cross. After much debate, it was decided that the Dominican Republic and Trinidad and Tobago would be the CCORC’s nominations.
