This space is for new Member countries, providing a resource for them to get quickly up to speed on the IHTSDO membership. |
Welcome!
You have been directed to this Confluence space because you represent a new national Member of IHTSDO. We’re excited to have you on board and joining us in our mission of producing and enhancing the vocabulary – SNOMED CT – that enables the clear exchange of health information for all.
IHTSDO Member Information
General Assembly Representative
The IHTSDO Articles of Association state that each IHTSDO Member is entitled to choose a “Nominated Representative” for the IHTSDO General Assembly (GA). This enables the Member to:
- Have specific business or matters referred for discussion by or decision of the General Assembly
- Attend meetings of the General Assembly and speak at such meetings
- Have one vote on each item presented in meetings of the General Assembly
The General Assembly usually meets in April and October each year. More information about it can be found in the GA Governance Manual.
Member Forum Representative
Each Member is entitled to choose a representative to the IHTSDO Member Forum. The Member Forum (MF) acts as an advisory body to the Management Board and organization. The Member Forum is also a means for optimizing the collaboration and coordination among IHTSDO Member countries.
Member Pages on the IHTSDO Website
Each IHTSDO Member has a page on our website (http://www.ihtsdo.org/members/).
To do list once you have joined IHTSDO
- Advise IHTSDO (via info@ihtsdo.org) on the name, title and contact information of your General Assembly Representative
- Advise IHTSDO (via info@ihtsdo.org) on the name, title and contact information of your Member Forum Representative
- Provide IHTSDO (via info@ihtsdo.org) with text for your country's Member web page. Please take a look and some of the existing Member pages for examples of typical content.
