Proposed MCM Agreement
• MCM has effectively helped manage last three ICOPS– Thanks to NPSS for covering some introductory costs!
• MCM to help manage ICOPS 2013 and 2014– Not ICOPS 2012 due to distance, but provided advice anyway
• PSAC and MCM negotiating longer term relationship– Selection of MCM as provider of choice– Standard services and pricing structure – Opt-out option for individual ICOPS chairs
• ExCom vote scheduled for 13 Nov 11 meeting– Agreement already has been circulated among members– Remaining issues to be resolved soon
