RULES OF THE BROCK AWARD 
ping projects may be largely due to team work, it shall be allowable to 
recommend the leader or the leading spirit of a team of workers, or such 
person as the team itself may think has made the most important or out 
standing or fundamental contribution to their work. 
d. Every recommendation shall be made in writing to the President of the ISP 
and shall be accompanied by a documentation and explanation of the grounds 
of the recommendation which shall be sufficiently full to enable the Council 
to evaluate them. 
e. The sponsors may consult the photogrammetric organisations or individuals 
of the country in which their candidate has been working and, if they do so, 
they must include in their documentation the advice they have received. 
f. Recommendations shall be made only during the period between the close 
of one congress and nine months before the opening of the next. 
g. All recommendations made prior to one congress shall lapse at the conclusion 
of that congress, whether or not any medal was awarded at it. It is permissible 
to revive a recommendation that has lapsed by making a fresh recommend 
ation. 
6. The selection of the person to receive the medal shall be made by the Council in 
accordance with the following rules: 
a. Any member of the Council who has himself been recommended for the award 
shall not, while his name remains one that can still come up for consideration, 
take any part in the proceedings of selection or be accounted a member of 
Council for the purpose of calculating the proportion of votes cast under this 
rule. 
b. Nine months before each congress the Council shall commence to consider all 
recommendations received to date, and may at the same time consider the 
merits of the work of any other person whomsoever, except a member of 
Council, that the Council itself deems worthy of consideration for the award. 
The Council shall complete their consideration and reach their conclusion 
in sufficient time to permit the preparation of the medal and its presentation 
at the Congress. 
c. The Council may use whatever procedure it thinks fit to reach its conclusions, 
provided the final selection is made by vote. In such voting a councillor of 
the same nationality as a candidate not yet eliminated shall have no vote and 
a candidate to be successful must receive the votes of not less than two thirds 
of those entitled to vote. Votes may be cast in person or by post. 
7. The Council shall normally expect to award one medal at each congress. It may 
abstain from awarding a medal at any particular congress, in which case it may 
award an additional medal at the congress next following but not later. 
8. The name of the recipient of the medal shall be announced at the congress, and 
the medal shall, whenever practicable, be presented to him in person at the con 
gress by the President. 
9. The medal shall not be awarded posthumously, other than in the exceptional 
event of a candidate dying after having been selected for the award, in which 
case the Council shall decide whether to award the medal posthumously or not 
at all or to some other candidate. 
10. A trust fund shall be established for the provision of medals. The trust deed shall 
be drawn up at the instance and with the approval of the American Society of 
Photogrammetry and shall be subject to the approval of the Council of the I S P 
and shall contain provisions for the safe-guarding of the capital value of the 
assets and for all accrued interest to be used in the provision of medals. Trustees 
shall be appointed by the American Society of Photogrammetry which society 
shall be responsible to the Council of the ISP for the proper conduct of the affairs 
of the trust.
