Such groups will be under the direction of a Convener, appointed by the Council, who
will be personally responsible for organising the work of his Group, contacting correspondents, producing and exchanging draft documents, etc. The general procedure for the working of a Study Group is set out on this page. Some simple rules are clearly necessary but it is the hope of the Council that the strength of a Study Group will lie in its informality, and in the opportunity it provides for members in all parts of the world to exchange ideas and experience.
