I.A.P.P.P. Wings

As announced in the Editorial in issue no. 26 (December 1986) of the Communications, I.A.P.P.P. has sprouted "Wings". The first regional Wing was the United Kingdom Wing, headed by Andrew J. Hollis.

The idea is to facilitate really effective interaction on the relatively local level, since I.A.P.P.P. is, afterall, nothing more than the sum total of members helping members wherever and whenever and however they communicate.

So that this idea results in an augmentation of what I.A.P.P.P. does, rather than a fractionation of this already international organization, the following guidelines were proposed.

1. Members of a Wing should be members of I.A.P.P.P. in good standing, i.e., dues paid, so that all can continue to receive the Communications, which contain contributions from all over the world.

2. There may be local membership and local dues in addition to (but not instead of) I.A.P.P.P. membership and dues, if the Wing itself wants to do that.

3. When a Wing organizes a meeting, call it officially an "I.A.P.P.P. Symposium". Don't call it a "Regional Meeting", because all I.A.P.P.P. Symposia are, afterall, implicitly regional anyway.

4. All Symposia, whether initiated by a specific Wing or not, should be announced in the Announcements feature of the new IAPPP.org web site.

5. If it is difficult or an additional expense for non-U.S. members of I.A.P.P.P. to write checks in U.S. dollars, Wing members can pay the equivalent amount in their local currency to the Wing Leader or contact person. That contact person, then, can remit one check in U.S. dollars with instruction to "add 12 months to the subscriptions of the following I.A.P.P.P. members ..

.". Below is a listing of all I.A.P.P.P. Wings that have been announced to date. Several Wings have published "Wing Reports" in various issues of the Communications, some on multiple occasions. It is not guaranteed that all of the Wings listed below are still active.
