It may well be too late to put a proposed amendment to the Motion in. In any case, I'd rather we have a vote on what is being proposed by the powers that be (in the hope that it gets turned down by a large majority) Charles Professor Charles Oppenheim ________________________________ From: John Briggs <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Wednesday, 7 August 2013, 16:12 Subject: Re: New name for CILIP Having finally looked at the press release for the "proposed new name", the thing that leapt out at me was that the strapline: The Chartered Institute for the Knowledge Professions would make a decent name, and the new name: Information & Library Professionals UK would make a decent strapline! Has anyone seriously suggested this? (Robert Clayton, below, came close with his suggestion of a working name.) Would it be worth putting forward such an amendment to the AGM motion?
