• Daniel Winfree Papuga placed two ICME statutes from 1992 and 1995.

"Dear Ralf: As I mentioned in a separate mail, having a reference on what the statutes presently are could be helpful for members. I wasn't at the 1995 meeting, and don't know why those statutes weren't approved (as there are no meeting notes archived in Paris). The 1992 revision seems to be the latest, then, and should be made available on the ICME website before any revision."

Here they are: ICME statutes from 1992 and 1995. Thanks to Daniel.

• Per Bjorn Rekdal has sent some comments concerning the proposal of revised ICME rules.

Since I work in ICOM with International Committees, I think it is correct to state some formalities: I was one of the authors of the Rules for International Committees and is now a member of the Standing Committee on International Committees, doing among other things the yearly review of the committees based on the committees' activity and financial reports and gives recommendations about the yearly subventions. And I am a member of the Executive (until Shanghai next year). And not least a member of ICME."

The comments are many and complex so they come attached: find them here .
