Now, we want to use different methods to
collect your comments, in the meanwhile we wait for a new IMHA board meeting
(last one was in February 3rd, 2014 in. London). Read here want they expect
from us by now:
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.
What can you use for your comments?:
- The IMHA website forum: Research (you
need to login, register, possibility for all IMHA members and invited IMHA
Research Group users) -> go to
http://www.imha.net
- We have created a questionnaire form in
google drive to collect, in a transparent way, your comments related to that
proposed working group text (here it is the direct link
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qE_IDw4dR6YDGHFhHR1sq0khKP9d3TLolcN3rVAyRKg/viewform).
Once you send them, you'll be abe to see an excel summary file.
- The possibility of using the e-mail of
the
interim
chair (Luisa Canals e-mail:
mlcanalsp@gmail.com) until the group has decided who they want to
lead/chair and a steering committee is approuved. We have also
created a mailing list for those that have applied to be members of IMHA
Research Group
- A website to download some documents (texts,
minutes, presentations, summary of comments ...) and give information of the
activities is being created. In the meanwhile you can find a temporal link
