IPEd's Interim Council is making preparations for its first face-to-face meeting since the national conference in Melbourne in October 2005. Delegates will descend on Canberra in the first week of August, and we thank Virginia Wilton and Ed Highley for hosting the meeting and making the arrangements.
At this meeting the Interim Council will review progress so far and chart future directions for the creation of the national organisation. It will also hear reports from the various working groups, and other items on the agenda are finance, the development of the accreditation scheme, news from the societies, and preparations for the national conference to be held in Hobart in May 2007.
After one of its rare teleconferences, the Accreditation Board is completing its current round of consultation with members with the holding of a workshop in South Australia. The first-round assessors, the distinguished editors, are meeting in each state and territory to review the process of assessment and the role they will play. The board has also begun to draft documentation such as the information kit that will be sent to applicants to guide them in preparing their application.
The Standards Revision Working Group, led by Shelley Kenigsberg, has held a teleconference and is making progress with improvements to Australian Standards for Editing Practice. The National Organisation Working Group is recovering momentum under its new convenor, Deborah Edward, and will hold a teleconference this month.
