PROPOSALS TO CHANGE THE BYE-LAWS

1. Proposal to create three new positions on the Board of Officers: Director of Education;
Director of International Communications; Director of Standards.

These three positions already exist de facto; they represent the evolution of our society in response to changes in circumstances and activities. They are important working positions. Currently they are filled by individuals who are Board Members for other reasons, either elected as a Member-at-Large or appointed as an Advisory Board Member.
This proposal recognises the importance of these positions and will ensure that they are filled according to the normal democratic processes of our society.

Proposer: C Barber, Seconder: Y Miyake
The proposal is as follows:
Article VI: Officers
Section 1
Add the phrase: "a Director of Education; a Director of International Communications; a Director
of Standards"
Article VII: Duties of the Officers
Add “Section 1:
The Director of Education is responsible for the ISCEV Teaching Course and for liaison
regarding ISCEV-aproved courses.
Section 2:
The Director of International Communications is responsible for maintenance and usage of the ISCEV web-site, and for facilitating smooth communications between members by such means as are appropriate.
Section 3:
The Director of Standards is responsible for the production, updating and publicising of Standards and Guidelines relating to clinical electrophysiology of vision."

1A. Rider to Proposal 1: Implementation

Since the holders of these positions are already Board Members, there is no need for immediate action. There is, however, a need to phase in the new positions so that their eventual changeover is also phased.

Proposer: C Barber, Seconder: Y Miyake
The rider is as follows:
Election of new Board Members for the positions:
Director of Education; Director of International Communications; Director of Standards
1A(i) Each of the individuals currently filling these positions shall continue until the expiry of their current Board positions, or until an election for the relevant Director position is held, whichever is the sooner.
1A(ii) Elections for the Director positions shall be held as follows:
2003: Director of Standards
2004: Director of International Communications
2005: Director of Education.

2. Proposal to delete the positions on the Board of Officers of: Secretary for Europe and Africa; Secretary for Asia and Australia; Secretary for the Americas

The duties of the Regional Secretaries are both vague and small. In practice they overlap with the duties of the Regional vice-presidents and, in reality, are simply not enough to justify the existance of two Regional Officers. Furthermore, the implementation of the above proposal, together with the recent increase in the number of Board Members-at-Large will make the Board too large and unwieldy. It is proposed that the duties of Regional Secretary be subsumed into those of the Regional Vice-presidents.

Proposer: C Barber, Seconder: Y Miyake
The proposal is as follows:
Article VI: Officers
Section 1
Delete the phrase "Secretary for Europe and Africa; Secretary for Asia and Australia; Secretary for the Americas".
Article VII: Duties of the Officers
Section 1
Add the sentence "The Vice-presidents for, respectively, Europe and Africa, the Americas, and Asia and Australia, act as liaison officers between the Board and the members residing in those parts of the world."
Section 2
Delete the sentence "The secretaries for, respectively, Europe and Africa; the Americas; Asia and Australia, act as liaison officers between the Board and the members residing in the respective parts of the world."
2A. Rider to Proposal 2: Implementation
This is to ensure a smooth transition.
Proposer: C Barber, Seconder: Y Miyake
The rider is as follows:
Deletion of the Board positions of Secretary for Europe/Africa; Secretary for Asia/Australia;
Secretary for the Americas
2A(i) Each of the individuals currently filling these positions, and those filling the positions of Regional Vice-president, shall continue until the expiry of their current term of office, cooperating as at present.
2A(ii) In the event that an office of Regional Secretary becomes vacant, it shall not be re-filled.
2A(iii) In the event that an office of Regional Vice-president becomes vacant, the relevant Regional Secretary shall assume the post of Regional Vice-president until the completion of the term previously allotted to Regional Secretary.
