IPEd review approaches climax

Institute of Professional Editors Limited (IPEd) Review Working Party 2012–13 has released its key discussion paper headed ‘IPEd Business Case’, which explores options on IPEd’s future structure, functions and funding. 

Two papers give the information needed for members to assess two questions to be put to them in a referendum that is currently scheduled for late November.

• Should funding to IPEd be increased?
• If that is agreed, which of two models for future activities should be adopted: IPEd as is with increased funding (IFM), or a national body with direct membership (DMM) of editors across the states and territories?

All members are urged to carefully study the detail of the information provided on this matter. It is critically important to the future of the society and the profession.
