ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY OF THE ICP AND IFPS
PALYNOS 16 (2): 2, 1993.
James E. Canright
In December of 1976 the Fourth International Palynological Conference (4th IPC) convened at the Birbal Sahni Institute of Paleobotany in Lucknow, India. For many palynologists the most important event occurring at these meetings was the acceptance by the General Assembly of the draft constitution for the International Commission for Palynology (ICP) that had been proposed by Norman Hughes and his 12-person council. This constitution stipulated that the ICP would serve as an umbrella organization for the regional, linguistic and national palynological societies; this concept directly opposed the proposal made at the 3rd IPC in Novosibirsk in 1971 that the ICP serve as an international organization comprised of individual palynologists.
Articles of the new ICP Constitution specified that each affiliated society should name or elect a Councillor to represent them on the ICP Council. If an affiliated society had a membership greater than 200, they were entitled to designate two Councillors. Furthermore, the President was to be elected by the Council for a 4-year term, but could not succeed him- or herself. Although the Constitution permits Councillors to serve two successive 4-year terms, in actual practice some societies replace their representatives at irregular intervals. In the past the exercise of this option has caused some confusion regarding responsibilities of Councillors, as well as difficulty in determining eligibility for their succession and / or candidacy for the presidency in election years.
Accordingly, by digging thorough my correspondence files, as well as back copies of the ICP Newsletter and PALYNOS, I have attempted to delineate the Officers and Councillors of ICP (now IFPS) from the inception of the first constitution until the present time. If individual palynologists or society officers find errors in the following historical list, I would appreciate hearing from them in order to correct the records.
