    3 Short questionnaire on the ISP GMM online :

     

    We are sending you separately a short questionnaire asking for your feedback on the ISP GMM online that just took place. This was a first, and as mandated in the ISP bylaws, it was meant to avoid having to wait until a quadrennial Gasshuku in order to hold a GMM, as was customary. While the online GMM was imperfect because it did not provide for a real-time interactive discussion, it did allow for members to ask questions and raise issues with Board members before hand, and then it allowed all our membership to make decisions needed to enable the Board and ITEC to perform their jobs and for the ISP to fulfill its mission.

    4 Upcoming events :

    6 ISP dues for the year 2019    PLEASE ACT NOW!

     

    It is that time of the year….  Our bylaws provide for payment of dues for each calendar year at the end of March of each year. In 2018, it took a while for ISP to get organized and open the necessary bank and paypal accounts, so dues were collected later in the year. So we hope you won’t feel you just paid and we are asking for dues again!

    The GMM voted to keep the dues at 50 Euros. And we also have an approved budget, so you have an understanding of how the dues are going to be used. Of course, we will submit detailed financial reports to you in 2020.

    The modalities for payment of dues are the same as last year :

     

    Instructions for payment of 2019 dues

    1. If you are a resident of a Euro country or UK, payments will be by bank transfer.

    Bank transfer modalities:

    • Through your national organization if this is in place today
    • Directly by yourself in other cases
    • ISP Bank references: See at the end of this document.
    • There should be no bank transfer fees on SEPA transfers (transfers between Euro countries).
    1. If you are NOT a resident of a Euro country, you can pay through Paypal or by bank transfer:
    • Even if payments are bundled, it is usually less expensive to do transfers of small amounts through PayPal.
    • You can pay through Paypal even if you do not have a PayPal account, as long as you have a Credit Card.
    • Please click on the following link to pay your 2019 dues   link to paypal
    • If you want to pay by bank transfer, see instructions above and banking references below. Please make sure then that the transfer is for the exact amount (i.e. 50€), not that amount minus banking fees.
