Dear Members of the Reconvened IRT,

 

We herewith wish to request that the list of reserved National Red Cross and Red Crescent identifiers as initially submitted to the IRT be revised and complemented to include, in regard to the Red Cross of the Republic of North Macedonia, a total of twenty-two (22) additional names.

 

These additions are needed in order to reflect the recent change in the official name of the “Macedonian Red Cross” to “Red Cross of the Republic of North Macedonia”.

 

As agreed in past calls of the IRT, we request that the set of names already included in the reserved list for this National Society (i.e. the names “Macedonian Red Cross” and FYROM Red Cross Society” and their agreed variations) be maintained in the reserved names list. This is mindful of the fact that the National Society will continue to be known by its old names in the foreseeable future.

 

A table of identifiers for reservation for the Red Cross of the Republic of North Macedonia is attached herewith. It includes a total 52 names (30 already included in the reserved names list – in black ink; 22 additional names – in blue ink).

 

We are also attaching herewith the Facebook pages of the Red Cross of North Macedonia illustrating that the National Society’s new name is in use.

Thank you for your assistance and kind attention,

 

Stéphane Hankins
