Following the discussion on one
list about the length of these briefings, we have taken the decision to post a
full Briefing on ‘Council Matters’ – the CILIP Council Blog at http://communities.cilip.org.uk/blogs/council/default.aspx,
and to provide a brief summary to the lists.
What follows is a summary of our
July
meeting:
Council
discussed:
- a report on the
provision of e-mail addresses to CILIP Groups and Branches and asked for
more work to be done to identify alternative
approaches.
- and approved
recommendations assuring the future of the Accreditation and Chartership
Boards and the CILIP Assessment Panel (CAP), as well as agreeing a revised
CPD scheme
- a draft
International Policy Statement to be taken forward to the Policy
Forum
- and agreed the
consultation exercise on Branch and Group funding
- Patrick Conway’s Professional
Standards of Service in public libraries report, and agreed a
number of ways to take this work forward
- received a report
on the CILIP survey on Police, Surveillance and Libraries conducted during
June
- membership renewals
and the 2007 accounts
- and adopted a
revised Reserves Policy - The revised Policy does NOT affect
English Branches, Groups and Celtic Nations as it retains the principle of
allowing them to retain and manage their reserves in order to ‘give
flexibility and encourage initiative’.
and
finally
- risk management at
CILIP – a discussion which leads to a CILIP Council workshop on the subject
later in the year.
I hope you find this approach and
format useful. Please let me know via the list (I’m sure you will!) of any
improvements which might prove useful.
