In response to Gary's suggestion, it is an idea long overdue and in
fact has been discussed within ICTOP on an informal basis over the
years. I remain in support.

>I have been asked to discuss the option of granting additional membership

>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.
