Proposed SIL changes, 22 July 2007
Among the items of business that the International Committee and the General Assembly will consider at the Montreal meeting, the following are most important in they have the most lasting consequences and require some thought and discussion. (Items 1-8 from the agenda.)
- The name of the society, presently designated “Societas Internationalis Limnologiae” or “International Association of Theoretical and Applied Limnology,” will be changed to “International Society of Limnology.” For historical continuity, the acronym “SIL” will be retained. (statutory change)
- SIL will no longer require members to pay dues through a National Representative. All members can pay dues directly to the SIL Administrative Assistant. The election of National Representatives will continue, as will the International Committee composed of National Representatives. (statutory change)
- SIL will permit the use of electronic ballots for elections. Ballots will be sent to a teller who is not a member of SIL. (statutory change)
- The SIL Executive Committee will create an official journal for SIL, to be received by all members of SIL in good standing with respect to dues in any given year. Papers from congresses can be submitted to the SIL journal, but will be published or rejected according to editorial judgment. Papers prepared independently of congresses also will be accepted for consideration.
- SIL will cease publication of the Proceedings as of the next Congress. SIL will distribute copies of abstracts for papers that are accepted for presentation at future SIL Congresses. Proceedings of SIL 2007 will be published, but with transition to a journal format. (statutory change)
- SIL will increase dues by 10% for the upcoming triennium.
- SIL documents will be prepared in English. (statutory change)
- SIL will encourage the organization of one non-congress meeting between congresses
