Notice
5/2005 AIDS Society of Asia and the Pacific(ASAP)
First Round of Invitations to New Organisational Members
Complete
31 August 2005
The
AIDS Society of Asia and the Pacific (ASAP) wishes to
thank all those organisations that lodged an application
for organisational membership. Such support means that
ASAP can continue to strengthen its work, especially as
it relates to the International Congress on AIDS in Asia
and the Pacific (ICAAP).
What We Have Done
ASAP would like to explain its processes and reasons for
selecting new organisational members.
ASAP has received a large number of applications. In order
to achieve our mission we have prioritised peak HIV/AIDS
bodies, national AIDS organisations, together with research
institutions and regional NGOs whose capacity appears
to most closely reflect ASAP’s aims and objectives.
In addition, we recognise that ASAP’s current logistical
limitations make administering a larger membership pool
unrealistic.
Hence, to ensure that ASAP is best serving all HIV/AIDS
communities and groups within the Asia Pacific, it has
established a First Round selection process that:
|
• |
prioritises
applicants whose capacity most closely meets ASAP’s
aims and objectives; and, |
| • |
recommends
a review of applications by the newly appointed
Executive Committee in 2006. |
Please
note that all membership applications are being retained
and new applications are being reviewed. Letters to organisations
not invited in the First Round are being despatched explaining
the reasons for our decision.
What We Will Do
A new Executive Committee will be established soon. Once
established, it will be recommended that it review both
existing membership applications and our procedure for
inviting organisations to join.
Thank You for Considering ASAP
We hope that all applicants understand the need for ASAP
to adopt a focussed approach. We also hope that this Notice
helps to further clarify ASAP’s new arrangements.
We will continue to review each application on its merits
but guided by the Rules and the need to prioritise linkages
between the organisations mentioned.
