INTEREST FIELDS
“Reporting”, intended in a broader meaning is the field of reference of Intersteno. All those who, by the means of their activities and technologies at their disposal, render the information and the communication accessible to people in various formats, are “reporters”. Reporters of all countries regardless of the means used in their activities are admitted in the Intersteno
Reporting, text processing and secretariat skills are the fields of interest of Intersteno
Sweden: no broader agenda nor broader definition of stenography is needed
 
Austria: not necessary to upgrade the description of our goals for today and for the future
See details in the article of  both drafts of New Statute dealing with aims

 
 
 
 
NAME AND NATURE OF INTERSTENO
Turn the Federation into a Association, with individual members who pay fees and have right to vote in the General Assembly. Permanent Board with President in charge for 4 years and Secretary Treasurer in charge for 6 years.
The activity of Intersteno in countries is led by delegates nominated by the Board as representative of Intersteno. Where and when exists the national group indicates the name of its representative
Intersteno remains a federation of national groups, whose representatives are members of the Central Committee. The Board is composed by a President, a Vice President and a Secretary General elected by the General Assembly of delegates for 4 years. A chairman of the Congress is nominated for organizing next congress. No right of voting is given to individual members
France: the name should be: “International Association for information and communication treatment” .
Teachers and students are to be listed as members of Intersteno
Austria: not necessary to reform the bodies of  Intersteno. Every country should participate and bring proposals
The solution depends on what is decided about the role of National Groups. See that issue.

 
 
 
 
 
 
NATIONAL GROUPS
National Groups when and where exist can indicate their own delegates in the Central Committee. The association is composed by individual members
The traditional role of National Groups is to be saved as guarantee of cohesion of the professional groups.
Federation must encourage the forming of new national groups and push individual members (with prohibitive fee) to join the national group if exists. In each country only one National Group is allowed. Each country organize itself at its own discretion. Representatives of countries without NG can attend the GA and participate to the activities on the conditions made by the Central Committee. No right of attending nor of voting for IM
Sweden: role of national Groups should not be changed
Secretary General: due to the busy life of those who are working for Intersteno, it will be difficult to ensure the activity for providing individual membership with the minimum information service.
For countries where a NG do not exist a delegate is nominated by the Central Committee
Austria: no individual members are interested for membership
President supports his proposal with a document “Reasons to sustain the proposal of new statute concerning the national groups”
