ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Conferences shall normally be held on an annual basis in the host’s country on the invitation of a national committee or an individual Centre.  The date and venue of any conference shall normally have been agreed during the proceedings of the previous conference.  Agendas shall be arranged in advance by consultation with those Centres expected to attend.  The agenda shall be finally agreed between the host country and the Secretary General, if required.

From time to time, the Council may set up ad hoc sub-committees, in addition to the permanent Steering Committee set up at the Tokyo Conference in 1991, to consider subjects of concern to the membership.
