The liberated organisation
The IHO has been working on organisational changes for several years. During the 3rd Extraordinary International Hydrographic Conference (EIHC) in 2005 and the International Hydrographic Conference (IHC) in 2007, the constitutional documents were approved in the meeting but they needed support by 48 member countries. As this now has been reached, changes will be made, entering into force on 8 November 2016.
