Gail Kennedy, Review
Group Coordinator representative on the CPAG, has withdrawn from the group
because of too much other work. As we already have another Review Group
Coordinator representative, Sharon Parker, we won’t need to replace Gail.
Alessandro Liberati,
previously Co-Convenor of the CPAG, has left the group and has been replaced by
Steve McDonald.
Kathie Clark stood
down from the CPAG in February 2005. Arne Ohlsson agreed to remain on the CPAG
as the representative of the 2004 Colloquium. Zbys Fedorowicz joined the CPAG
as one of the CCSG representatives. Sally Green agreed to fulfil the role of
CCSG representative until a replacement is appointed in October 2005.
The
consumer stipend and developing country stipend application forms have been
revised and an online submission system for stipend applications is being
implemented in readiness for the Melbourne Colloquium.
An update of the
Colloquia Standard Operating Procedures has been made in response to feedback
from the Ottawa Colloquium organizers.
Enhancements are being made to the events and reports
functions within Colloquium Manager.
Stipend
policy documents
A number of changes
that have been made to the Colloquium stipend application forms have
implications for the Stipend Policy documents previously approved by the
Steering Group. These documents will be updated to reflect these changes and
will be submitted to the Steering Group for approval.
Colloquium
models
The Steering Group
has suggested that future organisers be encouraged to consider adopting the
“Stavanger model” when organising Colloquia, for instance for every other
Colloquium. It was generally agreed within the CPAG that decisions regarding
the format of future Colloquia rest with the Colloquium organisers, but that
they should be encouraged to make use of this shorter, more internal format
more often.
To assist future
Colloquium organisers in this decision, the CPAG will prepare an overview of
the advantages and disadvantages of the different models (the “Stavanger
model”; the “Barcelona model”; the “traditional model”).
