Following South Korea’s designation as host country for the 2013 World Energy Congress (WEC) at the World Energy Council executive assembly in Mexico City on November 7, 2008, a plenary meeting of the establishing committee for the 2013 Daegu WEC organizing committee was held at 7:40 today at the Chosun Hotel. At the meeting, which followed five months of preparation, the organizing committee’s articles of association were decided and its members, leaders and executive committee selected, allowing for May completion of the committee’s corporate registration and the beginning of preparations in earnest for the congress, the city of Daegu announced.
 
The 2013 Daegu WEC organizing committee is being formed as a separate juridical foundation in terms of the civil code from the existing Korea Energy Foundation, the World Energy Council’s Korean member committee. The goals of the organizing committee are to carry out efficient preparations for the 2013 congress and to manage the congress effectively.
 
The plenary meeting held today was attended by the KEF chairman and establishing committee chairman-designate Lee Sae-joong and 20 other establishing committee members, as well as Jin Hong, head of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy’s Climate Change Policy Division, and Nam Dong-gyun, Daegu Metropolitan City’s vice mayor for political affairs.
 
At the establishing committee meeting, operation guidelines were approved for the establishing committee of the 2013 Daegu WEC organizing committee, and KEF chairman Lee Sae-joong was selected as establishing committee chair. Also, articles of association were approved for the organizing committee, and the leaders of the organizing committee were selected. They include SK Energy CEO and vice-chairman Shin Heon-cheol as organizing committee chairman, Daesung Group CEO Younghoon David Kim as first vice-chairman, Korea National Oil Corporation president Kang Young-won and POSCO president Lee Dong-hee as second vice-chairmen, and KEF secretary-general Shin Jeong-su as secretary-general. The organizing committee’s 2009 projects were also decided. 
  • Main Office: Located in Seoul, with Daegu office established as needed. 
  • Quorum of Committee Leaders: One organizing committee chair, one senior 
    vice-chair, two vice-chairs, up to 25 executive committee members, one auditor, one secretary-general and one technology program committee chair     
  • Leader Terms: Until dissolution date of organizational committee (two years in case of auditor, with possibility of reappointment) 
  • The plenary meeting of the organizing committee consists of up to 150 committee members. 
  • Projects: Establishing and carrying out comprehensive plans for 2013 Daegu World Energy Congress, etc. 
  • International Cooperation Events: Hosting WEC Congress, participating in executive assembly and other international events, holding various WEC-related forums 
  • Domestic Cooperation Events: Forming and operating organizing committee, carrying out publicity efforts  
“Following its incorporation application with the presiding office around May 15, the establishing committee will obtain its permit and complete corporate registration by late May or early June, allowing the organizing committee to begin operation,” the city of Daegu announced.
 
In addition to representatives of leading Korean energy-related businesses, the 2013 Daegu WEC organizing committee will feature participation from academia, research organizations, and a majority of related public enterprises. With such broad-ranging participation enabling real fulfillment of the committee’s Congress support functions, it is expected that publicity efforts for the congress will gain force and that cooperative events with WEC headquarters and member countries, the Korean government and related domestic and international organizations will proceed smoothly.
