Many museums have contract employees or fellows, who are staying in the museum for a limited time, and many of them are directly involved in exhibitions, collections research etc. If a larger institution has several unpersonalized cards, it would be possible to provide some of these people with such a card, and I am sure that those, who will stay in the museum field, will become interested to be an individual member, because they had the experience with the unpersonalized card.

The number of cards could be based on the number of employees at the member institution. As you may be aware, institutional members currently receive three cards. The exception to this limitation is ICOM Germany where the Executive Council decided to experiment with providing additional cards for larger museums. The experiment was to determine whether the extra card incentive would attract additional institutional members and not reduce individual memberships. Responses to date have confirmed that both these presumptions are true. There has been a substantial increase in institutional members and no reduction in individual members. In fact, individual membership continues to increase. The value of providing additional cards for institutional members based on the number of employees, at least in this one experimental case, is positive. However, the question remains, should this become an inclusive practice for ICOM? I am to report to the Executive Council on this matter at the next meeting and would appreciate your thoughts and comments.
