  3. What’s been happening since Virginia Beach • 2011 IFTAManagers’ and Law Enforcement Workshop • Monthly teleconferences for planning 2012 Workshop • Reviewed the 2012 Ballots • Possible 2013 Ballots

  4. Possible Ballot Proposal SUBJECT To create one official communication language for IFTA History/Digest • Since IFTA started in United States, member jurisdictions send the required information to each other in English. When Canadian provinces joined IFTA, some articles were changed.

  5. Metric, dollars, and interest rates • Weight • Distances • Interest Rate • License and decals have measurement in inches and centimetres • Tax returns may be reported in miles, gallons and US dollars for American jurisdictions and in kilometres, litres and Canadian dollars for Canadian jurisdictions (P720) but payments from Canadians have to be made in US dollars to American jurisdictions.

  6. CONTINUED… • Canada is a bilingual country, English/French and if Mexico ever joins IFTA, their official language is Spanish. • In order for jurisdictions to effectively communicate with each other for IFTA related purposes, it is suggested that an official language should be defined, “without restraining the base jurisdiction to communicate with its licensees according to their laws”.

  7. What do you think? Intent • To create an article that will make English the official language for communication between jurisdictions and with IFTA, Inc. • New Article of the Agreement R160 COMMUNICATION LANGUAGE It is the purpose of this agreement to determine that English should be the language when communicating to IFTA, Inc. and to member jurisdictions for required information not limited to: licensees’ status, transmittals and audit reports. All other information may be maintained in the legal language of the state or the province.
