Consultation Process Underway - Important Information for All GAC Members

The SEG and GAC leadership are taking up up several items for consideration . Decisions that follow the deliberations will have significant impact on the definitions and privileges of various categories of membership. In particular, it will affect the continuation of sponsored Global Membership in the future. It is therefore very important that members report their views and let their voices be heard. The following documents were reviewed during the 2007 GAC Mid-Year meeting in Houston. These are being made available to help you make choices and decisions.
In particular, please peruse the provisional minutes from the mid-year meeting and follow the discussions on the future of Global Membership and sponsored Student Membership.
