(Section 9(a) of the Constitution states that the proposed changes must be sent in writing to the Secretary of the Association sufficiently in advance of the next Business Meeting of the Association to allow time for publication in the Bulletin of the Association in the first number of the Journal published in any congress year.)
As a result of discussions among the Committee members, as well as discussions with the President and Secretary of the Association, the following amendments to the Constitution and Byelaws will be proposed to the next Business Meeting for discussion and voting. These amendments are, to a very large extent, semantic, formal or clarifying in nature.
A small number of more difficult issues will be held over and will not be submitted formally to the Association until the 1975 Congress. After discussions in the Council Meetings in Paris, it may be possible to formulate certain further proposed amendments for consideration at the 1975 Congress.
