AIAS Studio Culture Public Policy for review

At the AIAS spring meeting, the Board of Directors accepted the first draft of a public policy on the topic of “Studio Culture.” The Board has released a draft statement to its members and stakeholders for a 30-day public review and comment period.

Upon the closing of the comment period, a special working group will incorporate the comments into a final draft of the statement to be considered at the Grassroots Board of Directors meeting in July. The Board may then refer the statement back to the designated group for further work, reject it, or approve it as a statement of AIAS policy. Once approved, the policy statement will be issued in an appropriate form and will be included in a compilation of official policies maintained by AIAS and distributed to all AIAS constituencies.

The current edition of the AIAS Public Policies, approved in July 2009, can be found at the AIAS Web site: http://aias.org/advocacy_service/public_policies.php

Please address all comments and suggestions to Vice President Brett Roeth at broeth@aias.org. Comments must be received no later than Friday, June 11.
