General guidelines:
For posts of President, Secretary, Jt. Secretary and Treasurer, a consensus/election based approach will be adopted. A senior life member of ISPN [ life member for more than 10 years] and not holding an active post in ISPN will be the first proposer to formally propose the name for various posts and the same will be seconded by a life member
Proposals can be from any member of good standing. The proposals can be forwarded to the ISPN credential committee a month earlier so that 2 names can be selected to be presented at the GBM
The name will be ratified in the annual general body meeting of ISPN by a voice vote or raise of hands/ballot.
Work groups and subcommittee can be nominated by ISPN EC from time to time based on requirements
A member can at one time be a member of not more than one committee or one workgroup.
No honorarium or salary will be paid to members or to their staffs holding the above posts
The travel, lodging and daily expenses will be borne by members unless approved by ISPN-EC
