Selection

The Liaison Commitee will select individuals to represent the IAMU from the nominations received from the member Universities. In making this selection, the LC should take into account the following:

  • Costs related to attending the meeting (including, but not limited to travel costs) vis-à-vis the IAMU budget for the year;
  • Giving a fair opportunity for all IAMU members to attend such meetings;
  • The need that may arise for the appointment of an alternative attendee in the case where a primary attendee is unable to attend;
  • The necessity of sending an “understudy” to ensure continuity of representation and transfer of knowledge where the meetings in view are repetitive (e.g. IMO Committee meetings)
