The Board will consider acceptance of his resignation. - Executive Secretary & Bylaws Committee Chair: Elder Eunho Lee tendered his resignation for personal reasons. To avoid a work gap, essential
executive tasks are being handled under an interim delegation arrangement. A by-election for Executive Secretary will be tabled. - Internal nominations (Officers’ meeting, Oct 15, 2025):
• Executive Vice President: Daehee Cho — former Treasurer (previous term). Recommended for continuity and his experience in integrating four national ASI associations.
