Dear All,
I had envisaged that Young-Icom would work in a similar way to Africom.
No one has suggested (and it hasn't been the case) that a supra-national
committee has deprived the subject specialist committees of talent and
time.
As someone who was a board member of an ICOM committee while I would
have been of an age to be in Young-ICOM (now I'm too old....), I think
that the reverse is true.
I also second Mario's opinion that the committees aren't doing a lot at
the moment. I last heard from one committee about seven years ago, when
they said 'pay us extra to get the publications, or we won't send them',
After a silence of years, the other committee contacted me a few months
ago with the announcement of a forthcoming conference, and asking for
feedback, which I gave, including asking for further details on the
conference.... I've not heard anything since.
If Young ICOM trains people up in international working, and feeds them
into the boards and working parties of committees, things can (to quote
a politicised song) only get better. I don't see them getting any
worse.
Cheers,
Pat
