Only current ICU members as listed elsewhere on this website shall be deemed eligible for consideration.

In the event that the existing guidelines and ratings identify potential "multiple" candidates e.g. with same the rating, the ISC will apply further fixed criteria. These will have been voted upon by the ISC members at its meetings and will ensure that the members will not be required to vote for individual candidate selection. Any proposed amendments to the existed published documents will be submitted to the ICU Executive for approval.

The ISC shall submit a selection report to the ICU Executive within 1 week of meeting following the publication of the May ratings. On approval by the ICU Executive the report will be published here and qualifying candidates for each event will be notified.
