At the first two Congresses, the president and the secretary
General were elected solely for the period of the congress itself.
Starting with the III Congress (1926) in Paris, they are elected for
a three or four-year term of office. Until the VI Congress (1938) in
Rome, the term of office lasted from one Congress until the next.
Since that time, Congresses have been held in the middle of a term
of office. Terms lasted four years until the X Congress (1962) in
Vienna, at which time that and subsequent terms were reduced to
three years. This was changed at the XVIII Congress (1986) in
Toronto, following which the four-year term was reinstated. The FIG presidency was before the term 2002-2006 determined by
the location of the congress, then by election by General Assembly.
