Attachment 1: 2003 FORMAT FOR REPORTING BY CHAIRS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEES OF ICOMOS. IN PREPARATION FOR THE PEER REVIEW AND STRATEGIC PLANNING MEETING IN SOUTH AFRICA, OCTOBER 2003 MEMBERSHIP
& OUTREACH (ICOMOS
.... expects Committees to be accessible to all qualified
individuals and groups with a capacity to contribute.....Eger
Principles, Par I.2) 1. Describe the procedures for acceptance of each category of members into your committee: 1. Voting Members. Criteria/requirements for acceptance. ADMISSION OF MEMBERS :. Proposals and admission of voting and associate members are carried out according to article 4 of the CIIC Statutes, which are adapted to the Eger Principles and were approved by the international Executive Committee of ICOMOS in 1998 (see the CIIC Statutes on the attached document n. 1. They can also be consulted on both ICOMOS international www.icomos.org and ICOMOS CIIC www.icomos-ciic.org web sites). Provide List (Attached herewith, see document n. 2). If possible, identify which members were identified by their National committee (All voting members included in the attached list were identified and nominated by their National Committee, except that from Syria where there is no national committee of ICOMOS, so in this case the proposal was unanimously made by all the CIIC members attending the conference held at Ibiza in 1999. All the associate members have been proposed either by their national committee or by the CIIC officers, in accordance with the CIIC Statutes); which have proposed by your Committee Chair; identify also anyone who has been proposed but for membership but for whom approval has been withheld, and reasons for doing so (No one). Indicate terms served by each voting member and dates of election (See again the above referred document n. 2). Are Voting Members required to be members of ICOMOS through their National Committees? (All the members, except that from Syria as stated above, are members of their national committee) Describe
what, if any methods of communication are maintained with former
voting members rotating out of the committee’s voting roster. Do
they have maintain a role in the committee? Do they revert to
Associate membership? (The answer to this question is clearly
specified in document n. 2; see the following information whose
corresponding references (**)/ (***)
can be found in its list of members:
(**)These members have
never attended a CIIC meeting (or not so for the last 3 years)
without excusing their participation for due cause. In accordance
with the Statutes, the CIIC asked directly their National Committee
to nominate a new voting member if they wished to do so. (***)
Only the National Committees of Peru, USA and El Salvador have given
an answer and have respectively nominated Fernando Rosas and Michael
Romero Taylor as new voting members, and Carlos Hernandez as voting
member for a second term. These three candidates shall be proposed
for admisssion to the CIIC Bureau at its next meeting .
For the rest of them, if there is not a new formal apply
on their part, their names shall be deleted from the CIIC list of
members.) 1. Associate Members. Describe the policy / criteria of your Committee regarding acceptance of Associate (sometimes called Corresponding or Co-Opted) Members (Their professional background and experience and, in same cases, also their contribution to the CIIC programs and projects; for the rest, see above). Provide a list of such members (See document n. 2). Who proposes candidates for Associate Membership? (See above) Are there special provisions for Associate Members to rotate into Voting Membership? (It seems reasonable to consider this possibility for those associate members who have played an outstanding role in the previous term, but there is not any formal provision on this aspect since this is not specified in the CIIC Statutes and the opinion of the national committees should also be taken into account). Describe any additional categories of Associate Members, and provide lists of such (There are not additional categories of associate members. See document 2). Ara all of these members in the Associate Category required to be members of ICOMOS through their National Committees? (Obviously, the possibility of having outstanding specialist who do not belong to ICOMOS as members is contemplated in the CIIC Statutes, which are inspired and adapted to the Eger Principles, even though they should be encouraged to become members of their national committee. At the moment, all the associate members are also members of their national committee) Are
there recognized specialists in your field whoi are not currently
members of your committee. (May be, though this is a new field of
specialization and the CIIC is working with a new concept from the
scientific point of view) Are
there procedures for idnetifying such individuals? (The CIIC has
tried but, until now, most of people and some institutions
working on what is called “cultural routes” are but trying to
create them by terms of simple association of ideas or isolated
elements which may casually have some similar characteristics or
simply be located in a given region. This can clearly be observed in
the European Union where a slogan says “Create your own cultural
route!”. This responds to an effort for stimulating the European
cohesion, but not necessarily to the existence of cultural routes
from a scientific point of view. In this sense, the scientific
effort developed by the ICOMOS CIIC has a pioneer character.) 1.
Honorary Members. Describe
whatever provisions your Committee has for Honorary Membership.
Provide list of such members. Describe the role that they play in
the Committee’s activities. (There are not yet Honorary Members,
though this possibility is admitted by the CIIC Statutes.) 2. Institutional Partners. Describe the role of / partnerships & cooperation with international, regional and national affinity organizations in the work or yopur Committee (The CIIC co-operates with universities, research centres, public and private entities, etc. See the references included in different paragraphs of the reports sent on February and May this year. Different institutions provide the necessary funds for grants and felowships in the field of research, for carrying out the CIIC publications and also for organising international conferences and workshops). How are such organizations identified? (By the CIIC officers and specialists doing research work and taking part on the activities, programs and projects of the CIIC. Sometimes, also through the CIIC web page which attracts the interest of professionals working on this field). List other affinity organizations that should be involved in your committee activities (In many aspects, the CIIC is linked to the aims and interests of international organisations such as the UNESCO and, up to some extent, to the EU.) 2.
Describe method and frequency of communication with your
committee members (By postal mail, email, fax and telephone.
International conferences and workshops. Publications. Website.
Frequent contacts) FOR
OFFICERS: Are there other officers beside the Chairman? (Yes. See
attached document n. 3) What
are the terms? ( Candidates are elected for a period of 3 years.
As a maximum, they can be reelected for two more consecutive periods
of 3 years.) How
are candidates sought? (See
attached document n. 3) How
are the elections carried out? (See attached document n. 3) FOR
VOTING MEMBERS: Provide
frequency (every three years) and methodology for holding
elections in your committee (See attached document n. 3) Who
votes? (All voting members. See attached document n. 3) Are
elections staggered so that not all Voting Members are up for re-election
simultaneously? (Not until now because it has not become
necessary) ADMINISTRATION
& FINANCES 1. Business Meetings. Describe frequency of Business Meetings (Committee

4 December 2002 Scientific
meeting on “Conceptual and substantive independence of Cultural
Routes in relation to Cultural Landscapes”. This meeting was held
during the ICOMOS 13th General Assembly in Madrid, Spain. A
recommendation was adopted and submitted
to the General Assembly at its plenary session held in the morning
of December 5th.
29-30 May 2003 Scientific
workshop on conceptual and operational aspects with the
participation of officers
of the CIIC and some oustanding specialists, as well as
representatives of the UNESCO (Madrid, Spain).
2003-2005 As
usual, there will be scientific seminars and workshops (the place
and date to be determined according to the necessary facilities and
financial assistance that may be obtained from public or private
institutions. With respect to the expected numerical attendance, it
is intended that, as in previous events, a great majority of the
CIIC members can participate. For topics and themes to be selected,
see below the information referring to recommended activities and
programme guidelines. The CIIC will also continue fostering its
activities in the field of publications and participation in events
related to cultural routes.) Identify and describe any outside financial subsidies that have been secured by the Committee to support attendance at these meetings. (The overall cost of financing these meetings has been of approx. five hundred and thirty five thousands (535.000) Euros. This financial support has been obtained by the CIIC Chairman from different official Spanish institutions. The cost of financing attendance from undeveloped countries - most members of the CIIC are from them- may represent about a 50% of this amount. The CIIC looks for this support but it does not usually receive these funds directly, instead they are administered by the sponsor institutions.)
2. Headquarters. Identify and describe any permanent office space and other facilities (e.g., communications, postage, stationery, secretarial services) provided for the Committee’s Secretariat by outside sources (including ICOMOS National Committees) (HEADQUARTERS. ICOMOS-CIIC. ETS Ing. Minas. UPM. Calle Ríos Rosas, 21, Madrid 28003. Spain. Tel. +34 91 336 51 61 & 91 399 26 18. Fax 34 91 708 00 43. E-mail: secretariat@icomos-ciic.org & secretaria@esicomos.org . The President and the Secretariat of the CIIC can be reached at this address. ORDINARY FINANCIAL SUPPORT: Spanish National Committee of ICOMOS provides CIIC headquarters and secretariat with all required means and ordinary facilities).
3. Archives. Files are important for the institutional history of ICOMOS. Indicate where the central archives and files of the Committee are held. (At the CIIC headquarters, see above. Documents describing the CIIC History (Statutes, Definitions), Activities (Meetings held, Work Program, Declarations, Conclusions), Inventory Records and some ot the CIIC publications can also be visited at its website.) Are files transmitted from one President / Officers to the next? ( Sure, they will be transmitted. There has been only one president by now who has began to serve for a second term in January this year.)
4. Finances. Identify, describe and quantify outside sources of revenue that support the Committee’s activities and Programs (Since, as any other international scientific committee, the CIIC does not receive financial assistance from the international budget of ICOMOS, it needs to look for support from public and private institutions in order to organize its international meetings, conferences, seminars and workshops and also for carrying out its publications. As stated above, the Spanish National Committee provides headquarters, secretariat and current expenses. Different institutions provide the necessary funds for grants and felowships in the field of research (approx. therty six thousand (36.000) Euros per year), for carrying out the CIIC publications (approx. fifty five thousand (55.000) Euros until now, and also for organizing international conferences and workshops (approx. five hundred and thirty five thousands (535.000) Euros until now.)
5. Standing committees and task forces. Describe past and present use of working groups to achieve the committee’s ends in terms of administration and communications. (As specified in the attached document n. 3, the Board of Directors of the CIIC is organized by regions and each regional team is responsible for developing and coordinating the CIIC activities and goals in its own area. For some specific programs the main coordinator or director has created a team and also established the necessary structure.) RESEARCH,
PROGRAMS & PRODUCTS 1.
How have your programs defined
research needs for the field? (Through the research work already
done and as a result of the scientific meetings that have been held;
see above) Identify thematic areas of research that have been
identified (See the following list which may serve as a sample: STUDIES
AND PROJECTS BASED ON NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION:
Among
other initiatives, the « Camino
Real Intercontinental » programme, sponsored by ICOMOS-Spain,
is being carried out by different experts from Europe, America and
Asia (most of them are members of CIIC and their names are included
in the above list ; participation is open to all those members
wishing to join this effort). This long-term project began in 2000
and requires support from many different institutions. In so far,
the following institutions have given their support on different
phases and aspects: The Spanish Ministry of Culture, the AECI, the
City Hall of La Laguna, the University of Seville,
the Complutense University and the Polytechnic University of
Madrid, etc. Other institutions from different countries have also
given their direct or indirect support through the experts involved
on this project. The “Hispanic Mining Cultural Routes” project
is also been developed under a similar framework. Another project on
the Saint Francis Xavier cultural route between Orient and
Occident is being carried out by the Government of Navarra with
different institutions of Japan and other countries and the
scientific advice of an
international team of experts of the ICOMOS CIIC. A thorough
description of these initiatives can be consulted on the book on “The
Intangible Heritage and other aspects of Cultural Routes”(see
below). Many other initiatives, as those included in the

Etc What
was/is the anticipated product of such programs? ( To accomplish
the goals fixed by the program established and the activities that
have been recommended i.e. the following: RECOMMENDED
ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMME GUIDELINES (2003-2005) I.
According to the conclusions of the different conferences and
seminars held from its creation until the present days, the ICOMOS
CIIC goals and recommended activities for the next years are the
following : 1
.-That proposals be collected and a pre-inventory of cultural
itineraries be established. To assign each one of these itineraries
a multidisciplinary co-ordination committee made up of experts
appointed by the CIIC and in charge of selecting the scientific
criteria on which the analyses must be based. 2.-
To create, for each one of the itineraries defined, a network for
carrying out the scientific studies and investigations. 3.-
To identify groups and institutions which help to publicise,
safeguard and highlight the value of the cultural itineraries, as
well as the spreading of knowledge relating to them. 4.-
To raise the awareness of governments about the importance of
cultural itineraries and to attempt to integrate them in the
framework of territorial planning and organisation policies, in
order to ensure the operative functioning of the actions which are
undertaken. 5.-
To urge international co-operation by means of durable development
plans in the areas through which a cultural itinerary passes, due to
the fact that all of them constitute an integral part of a shared
common asset. 6.-
To develop the methods of approach and analysis within an objective
aimed at safekeeping, highlighting value and improving knowledge. To
work towards increasing the precision of the vocabulary and the
concepts. 7.
-To investigate and spread conservation techniques adapted to the
complexity of the elements and situations which the cultural
Itineraries entail. 8.-
To identify strategies which locate and attract means of financing
aimed at supporting the work to be carried out. 9.-
To publish the results of the investigations. II.
It was agreed to prepare an International Charter on Cultural
Itineraries looking for a ratification in Beijing in 2005. A first
draft to be circulated to CIIC members and others by January 2004 III.
As a result of the different conclusions elaborated at the above
international seminars, members are expected to help on filling the
CIIC Inventory Records. IV.
An attempt shall be made during the next three years in order to
include the CIIC Inventory Records adequately filled by its members
on a Pre Inventory of Cultural Routes of the World. Methodology and
steps to achieve this task are indicated in the conclusions of the
Seminar held in Pamplona in 2001 (see above: “Publications,
reports and web site”) V.
In 200 1all the CIIC members were invited by its President to
present their suggestions in order to elaborate a scientific program
on intangible heritage and cultural routes for the GA to be held in
Zimbabwe in October 2002. This program was expected to correspond to
the scientific symposium’s general topics and structure (1 main
theme and 3 sub-themes) that had been fixed by the organisers. As
the same topics and structure seem to be maintained, it is
recommended to those CIIC members planning to attend the GA in
Zimbabwe in 2003 that the scientific papers to be presented
take into account the below program elaborated by the CIIC on
the basis of the suggestion made by its members. It is also reminded
the work already done in this field by the ICOMOS-CIIC in its
scientific conference on “The Intangible Heritage and other
aspects of Cultural Routes” (Pamplona, June 2001)”.) ICOMOS General Assembly in
Zimbabwe. Suggested topics (ISC on Cultural Routes. CIIC) Main
Theme Place,
Memory - Meaning: Preserving Intangible Values in Monuments and
Sites A
new concept in the identification and management of the culture
heritage of peoples: Cultural Routes, a dynamic channel for
interactive understanding of cultural items in both their tangible
and intangible dimension. 3
Sub-themes: 1
The Intangible Dimension, Concepts, Identification and Assessment -
The
value of Intangible Heritage in Cultural Routes. Conceptual and
methodological framework for the identification and promotion of
cultural routes and their interdependent tangible and intangible
heritage contents. (Factors indicating value; Guidelines and
indicators for their localisation and subsequent evaluation;
Strategies and operational teams; Indicative lists and the ICOMOS
CIIC Pre-Inventory; The necessary social awareness.) 2
Impact of Change and Diverse Perceptions -
Cultural
routes as roads to identity, mutual understanding and solidarity in
the contemporary world. Intercontinental, continental, regional and
national cultural routes. Incorporation of significant elements into
signifying values. Presentation of ongoing projects and the
methodology used. Assessment of potential resources. 3
Conservation and Managing of Intangible Methods -
Methods
for safeguarding, management and co-operation regarding intangible
heritage items. (Guidelines and indicators for their continued
evaluation and monitoring; Assessment of possible actions within the
scientific, legislative, educational fields and in the area of
institutional co-operation; The necessary participation of society;
Use of new communication technologies). 1.
Does your committee stimulate and
support internal research activities by the members? Has it in the
past 5 years? (Yes. See, as a sample, the above list of research
works that are being carried out). 1. Describe how your Committee coordinates research with affinity organizations, if any. (The answer to this question seems to be already included on the information provided above). 2. Provide a list of permanent programs or Task Forces of your Committee. (The answer to this question seems to be already included on the information provided above). 3.
Provide a list of regularly
scheduled, occasional and special programs (E.g., conferences, one-time
exchanges) in the past 6 years (The answer to this question seems
to be already included on the information provided above). OUTREACH
AND DISSEMINATION 1. What are your methods to increase exchange among specialists 1. Your committee members (Yes) 2. The ICOMOS General Membership (Yes) 3. Affinity organizations (Yes) 1. Does your committee have a permanent official representation in regularly scheduled events sponsored by affinity organizations?( Not) Where, which? (Not to be interpreted as attendance to events by individual Committee members). If yes, does the Committee have a way to inform its members about the impact of these events? 1. Does you Committee prepare and disseminate information to increase awareness of allied professions and the general public? (Yes: Website, publications, participation at different scientific and public meetings, presentation of papers, etc. Reports and web site: Reports and conclusions of the conferences and seminars held from 1997 to 2001 have been translated in three languages and put on the ICOMOS web site (see: International Scientific Committee on Cultural Routes in www.icomos.org). This information and the new one, like documents from the last meeting held in Madrid in December 2002, are also included at the ICOMOS-CIIC website (www.icomos-ciic.org). Relevant information has also been sent to the ICOMOS International Secretariat and the Documentation Centre.) Official press releases to the media? Regularly, occasionally, rarely? 1.
List publications of your
Committee (not personal publications by members of your Committee)
for the past 5 years and currently in the work; and describe methods
of distribution. (Publications:
The Government of La Rioja published the complete proceedings of the
seminar on C.R of Vine and Wine held in Santo Domingo de La Calzada
(1999): “Actas de las I Jornadas Internacionales de Expertos en
Protección y Promoción de Bienes Culturales sobre el Itinerario
Cultural de la Vid y del Vino en los Pueblos del Mediterráneo ».
The Xunta de Galicia also published a book
on historic public works in the Camino de Santiago, which includes
an introduction with the CIIC history and philosophy (2000): “Obras
Públicas en Galicia al servicio del Camino”. Both of them
were distributed to participants. Another book including the
complete scientific proceedings of the seminar held in Pamplona in
2001 was published by the Government of Navarra and distributed to
participants at the 13th GA (2002): “The Intangible Heritage
and other aspects of Cultural Routes”. At any time, all the
requirements for the papers submitted to be selected for
presentation and included in the relevant publication are clearly
specified in a previous call for papers.) Are
the proceedings of your conferences, symposia, colloquia published?
Disseminated? How are they distributed? (Yes, normally they are
published and distributed among the CIIC members who attend the
international conferences and sent to many institutions and other
relevant professionals. The CIIC website has a page entitled
“Library” where all these publications are to be included; the
most recent of them has already been included. See the CIIC website.)
COOPERATION
WITH THE OTHER ISC’S The
interest of each International Scientific Committee often overlap
with that of others, which can lead to wasteful redundance and does
not take advantage of the larger brain trust of ICOMOS. Given the
commitment of ICOMOS to multi-disciplinary work, it only makes sense
that ISC’s come together to work on programs, conferences and
intitiativces of shared interest. Keeping
the desirablity for such cooperation in mind, rate the potential
partnership of other ISC’s to your own. Rate each on a basis of 1
to 5, with 1 siginifying little or no potential; and 5 a great
potential for joint work. Use the space under each committee to
identify what some of the areas of cooperation could be” 1

3 THE
FUTURE 1.
List a few goals, programs or issues that you wish your committee
had acomplished in the past, but was unable to do, and hope to
achieve in the future. (The necessary efforts for the elaboration
of a pre-inventory of cultural routes should be increased by all the
CIIC members. But, as it happens in any NG entity, only some of them
work hard. This fact should be understood if we consider that none
of them is paid for doing this job.) 2.
If funding were available, what new & important initiatives
could your committee undertake? Guess at a dollar amount of what it
would take. (To increase the means for grants and fellowships
devoted to research work on the main projects that are being carried
out. About 45,000 US $
per year.) 3.
What organizations,
institutions, universities would benefit your committee as partners,
and how? (The best by now would probably be to continue and to
foster our present links. We are on the way to reach some important
agreements in the field of the University and need to concentrate
our limited means and our efforts instead of spreading energies in
many new directions.) 3.
Do you feel that your committee
or the whole ISC structure cold benefit from structural changes? If
so, How? Is something missing? (At present, it seems that there
are too many bureaucratic requirements which have not proved to be
helpful till now in the field of the ISCs. We really need to
concentrate on our goals,
activities and research work and, instead, I am afraid that we feel
somehow as been treated like school children who have to submit too
many reports instead of concentrating on our work. For another
question is to know whether the members of the new “ISC’ s task
force” are outstanding members of the ISCs and so well aware of
their reality and their problems or if they have been appointed just
by “political” or “geographical” criteria. In this
case, the geo-cultural regions are not well represented.
Also, there are some persons that are appointed to so many
“Task Forces” that frequently do not have neither the time nor
the necessary qualifications to do a professional an efficient job.
As I tried to explain at the last Executive Committee meeting in
Paris, there are too many “bosses” but few people to organize
activities and to do research on a voluntary basis.)
3.
Any other ideas? Suggestions (As
required, a report was sent by the CIIC last October. A second one
on February this year at the requirement of
the present Vice-President for ISCs.
Another updated report on the CIIC (in some aspects more
comprehensive that the present one which is adapted to the format
addressed to the chairmen of the ISCs) was also sent last May on a
voluntary basis. We did not receive just an acknowledgement of
receipt of them. Recently,
the members of the ICLAFI were asked through its
list server (curiously the CIIC did not receive any message
on this sense) if they are developing any work on the field of
fortifications. We answered to mention the activities carried out by
the CIIC on this field and again there was not even a brief message
to acknowledge receipt. It
is then suggested that in the same way that the chairmen of the ISCs
are requested to provide so much information, they are given an
answer when they send messages with information).
