At the 91̳ meeting in April, it was agreed that the Executive would prepare a document on the organisations with whom 91̳ might have a formal or an informal relationship, develop a set of principles, and make recommendations as to which 91̳ should foster a relationship with. A draft was discussed. Members discussed whether 91̳ is a cooperative which in practical terms focuses on matters of immediate interest to members, or whether it should join associations which advocate certain values. There was concern that taking up membership in a range of other organisations could contribute to fee creep and not be of direct benefit to members. Members concluded the following: The 91̳ strategic plan should guide the decision. The benefit must be direct and relate to 91̳s strategic plan. 91̳ should belong to organisations for transactional reasons or direct material benefit, not for affiliate or common goal reasons. Alliances are important, but if not of direct benefit, 91̳ should offer to be an associate or affiliate with respect to communication, exchange of newsletters etc (Action: DC) SPARC membership is a gesture of support but there is not a clear direct benefit. COUNTER, ICOLC, ALCC are clearly of direct interest. IFLA is a federation of professional associations, and more suited to ALIA. CHASS, FASTS etc are bodies like 91̳. It was noted that the recommendations will rule out a whole class of organisations with whose roles 91̳ has much in common. Draft discussion paper on 91̳ membership of external organisations At the 91̳ meeting in April, it was agreed that the Executive would prepare a document on the organisations with whom 91̳ might have a formal or an informal relationship, with proposals as to which 91̳ should foster a relationship with, and any costs that might be associated with this relationship. Organisations to be considered include CHASS, FASTS, SPARC, COUNTER, ICOLC, IFLA, IFLA Copyright Committee, ALCC, ADA, CNI, RLG. The attachment lists the organisations that 91̳ may, potentially, wish to join. These may be used as test cases against which the following "criteria" may be tested. <> Why would 91̳ take out membership in an external organisation? *It pursues an agenda related to 91̳'s strategic plan *It provides direct benefit to 91̳ *It contributes to 91̳'s understanding of the issues *It delivers a service which informs 91̳'s decisions *By being a member, 91̳ has a say in their strategic directions eg ICOLC, COUNTER, ALCC - but not necessarily ADA *It is 91̳'s core business? CHASS and FASTS are deemed not. *Other? What is 91̳'s core business? *Higher education. *Teaching & Learning. *Research. *Libraries. *Copyright. *Information Technology & Communications / Learning/Information/Content Management Systems *Acquisitions *Metadata / cataloguing *Other? Items for consideration: *Should cost be a factor? Either membership dues, or the cost of active participation? Note that most of the Group of Eight are funding 91̳'s SPARC subscription for 2004. Membership of SPARC was not based on the principle, rather the cost, and this was dealt with by individual members volunteering to sponsor it. *Should organisations be restricted to those focussing on higher education? *Should 91̳ join other library organisations? *Would 91̳ be better limiting its advice on copyright to those issues related to higher education only? Eve Woodberry has been invited to be on the ALIA Copyright Committee. The IFLA Copyright Committee is funded by the ALCC, and nominated by ALIA. *Other?
