1. A draft mandate has been developed (see it in the IMHA website http://www.imha.net > member section > forum > Research), based on the MARIN document. In this document, few items have been changed, to allow the group itself to develop the document further. This document lack a clear distinction between VISIONS, OBJECTIVES, AIMS AND ACTIONS. It is important to be able to measure our achievements, and define scopes which bring maritime health research forward. This will be the first task for the group.
2. The link between IMHA and IMHA research is defined in the document. It is also described in IMHA Bylaws, in accordance with the new Article we got at the GM in Brest. These parts of the document should not be changed. Political statements and consensus documents intended for public access, should be endorsed by the IMHA Board of Directors, prior to publication. IMHA Research talks externally through IMHA Board of Directors. This will, however, not interfere with the professional freedom of scientific publication, which should be completely exempt from influence from IMHA Board of directors.
