Explanation
Other Exempt Purpose Achievements
Part III, Line 4
The International Society for Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism invites applications for membership to those individuals who have an interest in cerebral blood flow, metabolism, and, and function from basic to clinical aspects across a wide spread of interdisciplinary fields. The criteria to evaluate the application for ordinary membership is based upon contribution to a field relevant to cerebral blood flow and metabolism. Papers that are not first-author and other contributions will be considered but papers under submission or in preparation and other factors (e.g., positions and professorships) will not. Applications will be reviewed by the Membership Committee.
Management Company
Part VI, Line 3
The Kenes Group assists the Society with operational aspects of the Society's administrative office and helps the Society organize its biennial BRIAN conference. It also assists with the collection of the membership dues and subscription fees for the member copies of the Society's journal JCBFM and manages the subscriptions of the member copies of the journal. All Kenes activities are required to be in full co-ordination with and under the supervision of the Society. Kenes forwards membership reports to the Society's treasurer's office which then reconciles the reports with the number of subscriptions provided by the journal publisher. In addition, the society provides and reviews the content on the website and reviews the membership brochures that Kenes uses. There are no related parties between the Society and Kenes.
Changes to Governing Documents
Part VI, Line 4
The principal changes relate to the election of a Treasurer-Elect, which necessitated substantial changes in Article IV and the elimination of Amendment 3. Currently, the procedure is that the Treasurer is elected in a contested election for a 2-year term, and serves for two more 2-year terms after uncontested elections. The following is a summary of the proposed Bylaw changes related to the Treasurer-Elect: Approved 17.02.2011 1. The Treasurer would be expected to serve another 2 years after an uncontested election, so in all it would be 2 yrs as Treasurer-Elect followed by 4 yrs as Treasurer. 2. There would be a new Treasurer-Elect elected so as to coincide with the last 2-year term of the Treasurer. 3. If the Treasurer resigns, the Treasurer-Elect becomes Treasurer to complete the term of the departed Treasurer, and then can serve two 2-year terms (so it would still be a total of 6 yrs). 4. The terms of office of the Treasurer and Treasurer-Elect are now the same as the other officers. 5. The terms of office of the Treasurer and Treasurer-Elect are now the same as the other officers. Two other, relatively minor changes to the bylaws: To encourage a greater number of nominees, a change in the nomination procedure for Directors, reducing the number of members supporting each nomination to three (Article III--section 3). Rendering the text of the Bylaws gender neutral. VII. Motion to approve the selection of Dr. Marcus Raichle to receive the ISCBFM Lifetime Achievement Award. Approved 25.02.2011 By-laws: Article I, Section 1. Members. There will be five categories of membership: Ordinary Members, Junior Members, Sustaining Associate Members, Honorary Members and Emeritus Members. Only Ordinary Members will have the right to vote. Ordinary Members: The Ordinary Members will consist of all members of the existing society called The International Society for Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism at the date of adoption of these By-laws. Any person who has a past and present record of research in cerebral circulation and metabolism and also a reasonable prospect of continued activity in such research in any part of the world shall be eligible for election as an Ordinary Member." Article III, section 3: The Directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the membersor the special meeting in lieu of said annual meeting by such members who have the right to vote. "
