Posted By Hilary Charlton Have you checked on the closed forums list - all the membership changes are listed there. Hilary

Posted By Rob Strange The proposed changes to the membership structure (including the proposal that the new category of "Chartered" be made available) together with the proposed changes to the governance structure (to make decision making processes swifter and more transparent, and to bring IOSH more in line with current governance recommendations) have been very well documented over the last few months in detailed articles in the IOSH News pages of the SHP. In addition, they have also been posted, for comment, on the members' section of the website (this section because they relate to members' business, purely internal at this stage). Over the next few days the Annual Report will be mailed to all members and this will contain more background information on these, and other, key issues for IOSH and all Corporate (voting) Members will also soon receive copious printed information about the proposals and the methods of voting at the forthcoming AGM (November 16 at the Holiday Inn, Birmingham). Finally, there seems to be a rumour circulating that the AGM vote will include a proposal relating to the method of electing Council members - this is untrue; wider consultation on this specific topic will take place over the next few months in readiness for a full Council debate in February.
