> The Committee of the Official Statistics Section of the Royal Statistical
> Society seeks new members for the 2003-4 session. The Committees main
work
> is organising meetings - finding speakers and discussants and arranging
for
> publicity. The Committee also plays a part in developing RSS responses
to
> government consultations on statistics.
>
> You don't have to be a Fellow of the Society in order to be a member of
the
> Committee. What is needed is an interest in official statistics and
other
> facts about government and society, and an interest in the ways such
> statistics relate to public policy matters.
>
> Where you live is not a barrier to membership. The Committee conducts a
> growing proportion of its business by email. There are five or six
> Committee meetings a year in London, but the Society pays travel expenses
> and supports telephone participation.
>
