44 DELEGATES MEETINGS 1st Delegates Meeting held on Monday, 5th September, 1960 at Senate House, William Beveridge Hall The President: Major-General R.L1. Brown The President welcomed the Delegates most cordially to this their first meeting of the 1960 Congress. He expressed the hope that, as there was to be a further meeting next day, the present meeting would be kept short, its main purpose being to inform delegates and to give them an opportunity to see and meet one another. The Council, he said, had spent most of the previous day and part of that morning reviewing the affairs of the ISP and amongst many other things had prepared, as was their duty, the agenda for the present meeting. On the first item, the revision of the Statutes, he intended to speak in his opening address to the Congress; but he would like the Delegates to know the position. Though much had been done there was as yet no draft ready to put before the Con gress, but it would nevertheless be valuable if members would discuss and think about the questions at issue. There seem to him to be five important points at which revision was desirable. First, a restatement of the objects of the Society. Secondly, the in troduction of some expression of the international and non-political character of the Society. Thirdly, some rethinking of the method of adherance to the Society. Fourthly, the method of calculating subscriptions. And fifthly, whether bye-laws should be introduced to regulate matters of less fundamental importance than statutes and requiring to be varied with more ease. The second item of the agenda concerned the meeting place for the 1964 Con gress. The President said that Belgium, who had so generously stood down at Stock holm in 1956 in favour of Great Britain, had now through force of circumstance had to withdraw their invitation for 1964. He knew that all the delegates would sym pathise with them. There had been no other invitation for 1964. Canada had been interested in holding the Congress, but not in 1964. In the short time available he had made contact with five European members who might be willing to extend invitations: France, Federal Republic of Germany, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland. He would be meeting their delegates that afternoon in the Court Room and he invited any other delegate, who might seriously consider extending an invitation, to be present. The next item of the agenda was the allocation of Commissions for 1960-64. The President said that, though it was by no means incumbent upon the IS P to change the Boards of the commissions at every Congress, and indeed it might often be desirable not to do so, he would, if the meeting agreed, now declare all commis sion and sub-commission boards vacant. This method of proceeding, he thought, would simplify the subsequent discussions. He then invited those countries who were willing to undertake responsibility for a commission to give him as soon as they were able the following information: Which commissions and sub-commissions they were willing to under take, giving the order of their preference. What personalities they had in mind for Presidents and Secretaries. What facilities, such as secretarial and financial support, were likely to be available to the commission board.
