Guidelines
for selecting organizers,
discussants and contributors
| 1. |
By
31 January 2008, all National Committees,
International Affiliated Organisations and Internal Commissions
should send to the Secretary General proposals for organizers,
discussants and contributors for sessions.
|
| I. |
Major
Themes (3): organizer, discussant plus a maximum of 12 contributors |
| II. |
Specialized
Themes (20): organizer, discussant plus a maximum of 6 contributors |
| III. |
Round
Tables (15): organizer, and a maximum of 4 contributors |
| IV. |
Joint
Sessions (10): organizer, discussant plus a maximum of 6
contributors |
| a) |
The
organizer is the key person for each session. Chosen for
their knowledge of the field and historiography, organizers
will have the final say in the choice of participants. For
all sessions ONE organizer must be identified. This to facilitate
communications between the secretariat of ICHS, the secretariat
of the Amsterdam Congress and the participants. Please note
the change of format for round tables : The organizer will
prepare a text that will be distributed in advance to the
four participants and discussed during the meeting. For
the other sessions, the role of the organizer is not to
divulge the substance of the presenters’ communications
but to introduce the theme and its problems. |
| b) |
Please
send us your proposals for organizers, giving for each the
reasons for your selection in a few lines (do not send CVs).
In all instances, please ensure that you list the complete
address (affiliation, street address, telephone/fax, and
e-mail). Also, please make sure that the person you are
suggesting agrees to have her/his name submitted. |
| c) |
Please
note that ICHS wishes to avoid selecting the same person
from one congress to the other as organizer. To ensure the
true international scope of the congress, care must be taken
to reach a proper balance between regions, countries and
gender. |
| 4. |
Discussants |
| |
For
each session, a discussant must be proposed. This person
will be responsible for outlining the highlights of the
papers and for guiding the general discussion. Also, please
make sure that the person you are suggesting agrees to have
her/his name submitted. Please send the complete address
(affiliation, street address, telephone/fax, and e-mail). |
| 5. |
Contributors |
| |
If you
have some proposals for individual papers, please submit
them; if you send in more than one for a given theme, you
must put them in order. Please ensure that you send the
complete address (affiliation, street address, telephone/fax,
and e-mail). |
| 6. |
Final
selection of organizers and discussants |
| |
A sub-committee
of the Bureau, consisting of Hilda Sabato, José Luis
Peset, Pierre Ducrey, William Jordan et Jean-Claude Robert,
will prepare the final list of organizers and discussants
which will then be submitted to the members of the Bureau
for approval. The list of proposed individual papers will
be send by the Secretary General to the organizers. The
choice of organizers and discussants for Joint Sessions
will be made by the proposing organizations in conjunction
with the Secretary General. In all instances, to ensure
the true international scope of the congress, care must
be taken to reach a proper balance between regions, countries,
age and gender. |
| 7. |
Announcement |
| |
Once
the chosen organizers will have confirmed their acceptation,
the list of themes and organizers will be put on the web
site of ICHS and that of the Congress. Any person wishing
to contact them will be able to do so. However, organizers
will have to enforce the maximum numbers of contributors
as well as the international and gender balance. |
