Further report on the 1989 Kiel Convention
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 February 2009
Extract
There has been considerable correspondence among members concerning the revisions of the IPA. The new chart had the approval of the overwhelming majority of the Council and of the membership; but almost everyone had objections to some particular detail. This makes the correspondence hard to summarize in an objective fashion. Most people wrote that they favored the new proposals. But—and then they criticized some particular decision, often making the same point as they or others had made to no avail at the convention. The arguments in favor of that decision (arguments that successfully convinced the Convention to vote for it) are not made in the correspondence, and any summary would inevitably be one sided. Accordingly, with one exception, this report will concentrate on suggestions in the correspondence that do not reiterate statements made at the Convention, but instead are more concerned with tidying up loose ends. In order to provide a basis for future decisions, formal proposals will be made. After members have had an opportunity to express their opinions on these proposals, the Council will be asked to approve or disapprove these proposals.
