We have nearly 500 individual members and 40 institutional members of
ICOM in the UK. Our data on international committee membership is not
definitive, because members join ICs by contacting the Secretariat
direct, not through the National Committee. (It is unfortunate that all
national and international committees have to maintain their own
databases and mailing lists, duplicating information held in Paris,
because the central database can not yet be accessed or updated through
the Internet.)

We ask our members what ICs they have joined and, though their memories
are sometimes unreliable, our records show that there were 35 members of
ICTOP, broken down as follows:

        Institutional   Individual

Voting          1               11
Non-voting      4               19

Patrick may be able to estimate numbers of potential members to compare
with these figures.
