IPEd Notes
News from the Institute of Professional Editors
September 2006
IPEd has some major advances to report, including a new working group, a timeline and an indicative budget. The meeting of the Interim Council in Canberra in the first week of August confirmed that face-to-face discussions are far more productive than email or even teleconferences. We thank Virginia Wilton for arranging accommodation and food and providing a very comfortable venue at her company's premises.
iped-editors.org
The new working group is convened by Mike Purdy of the Canberra society, who has already volunteered considerable time to set up the IPEd website. The group, which is made up of the web managers of the societies, aims to inform members about the site and encourage them to use its interactive features. If you want to have a go, join the forum on the draft document ‘Ideas for Strengthening a Society'. We look forward to your contribution.
Timeline
The timeline is a dynamic document and the version on the website will be updated from time to time, so only a summary is given here.
