IDC FULL FORM

What is the Full Form of IDC

IDC: Independent Democratic Conference

IDC stands for Independent Democratic Conference, a group of Democratic Party senators from the New York State Senate elected as Democrats but sided with the opposition party to seize control of the body. The IDC planned to establish a third party, an independent caucus, or both in New York to prevent the Republican Party from gerrymandering the state senate districts of the eight IDC senators. David Valesky, Tony Avella, Jesse Hamilton, Jose Peralta, Diane Savino, and Jeffrey D. Klein were the IDC's eight remaining members at the time of its dissolution.

In 2011, John L. Sampson, the Democratic leader in the New York State Senate, and Klein, Savino, Valesky, and Carlucci disagreed, leading to the formation of the IDC. During the 2013–14 legislative session, the Senate was jointly presided over by the IDC and the Senate Republican Conference since the Senate Republicans lacked the necessary number of senators to create a majority. The Senate Democratic Conference's members re-joined the IDC after conversations with its former backer, Governor Andrew Cuomo, and in April 2018, Klein would take over as the Deputy Democratic Conference Leader.

The Democratic primary elections that followed in September saw victories for only Carlucci and Savino, leaving six of the eight former IDC members in the dust. In 2020, Carlucci decided not to run for re-election to the Senate and instead run to replace Nita Lowey as the congressman for New York's 17th congressional district. He placed fourth in the Democratic primary. Savino, the final IDC senator still serving in the New York State Senate, announced in February 2022 that he will not run for re-election.

In the November 2008 elections, the Democratic Party won 32 of the chamber's 62 seats, displacing the Republican Party for the first time since 1964 and seizing control of the New York State Senate. Four Democratic senators, Hiram Monserrate, Carl Kruger, Rubén Dáz Sr., and Pedro Espada Jr., did not back the party's leader, Malcolm Smith. Espada and Monserrate abstained when the senators met in the new session to choose a majority leader. A 31-31 tie in the Senate caused by Monserrate's later re-joining of the Democrats led to the 2009 New York State Senate leadership crisis, which was resolved when Espada re-joined the Democratic conference. 

Keeping Espada, Diaz, Kruger, and Monserrate in the Democratic coalition following the 2008 elections fell to Jeffrey D. Klein. She eventually became the deputy majority leader. The Republicans gained control of the parliament in the elections conducted in November 2010. The uproar led Democrats to oust Klein as their main strategist in December 2010. The independent redistricting committee and the Republican leadership worried that state senator David Valesky's district in upstate New York would be gerrymandered to make it more difficult for his supporters to vote in the 2013 State Senate Election. In January 2011, Klein resigned as the State Senate's deputy minority leader, citing differences with John L. Sampson.

Some Others Full Form of IDC

1. Institute of Democracy and Cooperation

IDC also stands for Institute of Democracy and Cooperation. In Paris, there is a think tank called the Institute of Democracy and Cooperation; both organizations were started in 2008 by a group of Russian NGOs and a Russian lawyer named Anatoly Kucherena, although they operated independently of one another structurally and operationally. The organization's principal goal was to respond equitably to Freedom House's claims that human rights were violated in Russia. In 2015, the New York IDC ceased to exist. Nataliya Alekseevna Narotchnitskaya a historian and former State Duma representative from Russia, is the site's director. The director of studies is a British philosopher and historian, John Laughland.

According to experts and media reports, the institute was founded on Putin and Surkov's initiative and is linked to Russian funding and goals. When questioned about funding sources, the former IDC director John Laughland responded that the money comes from the Foundation for Historical Outlook in Moscow, funded by grants from the Russian President.

2. International Detention Coalition

IDC also stands for International Detention Coalition. The International Detention Coalition is a legally recognized not-for-profit organization that unites more than 400 non-governmental organizations, faith-based organizations, academics, and other professionals to provide advocacy, policy work, research, and other services on behalf of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. The International Detention Coalition (IDC), made up of organizations and individuals from more than 50 nations, was established to exchange knowledge, encourage best practices, and advance the application of regional and global human rights norms and standards to the detention of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. This involves promoting greater respect for the human rights of those detained, preventing and restricting the use of immigration detention, looking for alternatives, and employing the least restrictive methods. Regional consultants are stationed worldwide, with the IDC Secretariat's headquarters in Melbourne, Australia.

3. Institute of Design and Construction

IDC also stands for Institute of Design and Construction. A now-defunct technical institution in Brooklyn, New York, called the Institute of Design and Construction (IDC), was a non-profit. Architect, community activist, and member of the New York State Assembly, Vito P. Battista, R.A., a first-generation Italian-American, founded it in 1947.

IDC provided various continuing and professional education programs besides Associate degrees in Architectural Design Technology and Building Construction Technology. Although it had been authorized by the New York State Department of Education, IDC unilaterally stopped operations in July 2015 owing to dwindling student enrolment and concerns about accreditation raised by the New York State Board of Regents.
