1. The constitution of an executive committee has been discussed.
We decided to create this committee which will be composed of the founding members and the past and current organizers of the meetings.
Executive committee composition for 2007-2008:
Founding members
Naples meeting organizers
Dr Paolo Muto
Prof. Hugo Marsiglia
Istanbul meeting organizers
Prof. Sedat Turkan
2. Missions
The executive committee's missions are:
- To define the topics and locations of our meetings
- To elaborate the scientific programs of our meetings
- To select the potential lecturers for the meetings
- To define the potential partners
All this has to be done according to the rules defined in our initial memorandum and articles (see www. aromecancer.org).
3. Scientific committee
According to our objectives that are based on workshop organization in the national and international meetings and also because we are not planing any general AROME meeting, we decided that a scientific committee will not be needed and the executive committee already insures its potential missions.
4. Honorary members
The executive committee will request support from important personalities to become premium members. These persons have to have Mediterranean origin or to work or act for any of the Mediterranean countries and also to show. an interest in AROME missions.
5. IAEA-AROME partnership
We will contact Stella De Sabata and Branislav Jeremic for the diploma certification proposal. It is important to discuss the targets of this project: technicians, dosimetrists, physicists…?
Collaboration with African universities for diploma certification will be also discussed.
6. UICC-AROME partnership
Epidemiology of cancer in the Mediterranean area. The book project has to be discussed with H?l?ne Sancho-Garnier as soon as possible in order to define the topics and the table of contents.
AROME accept the proposal to participate in the future UICC meetings.
7. Book proposal from Hamouda Boussen and Nourreddine Bouaouina
The proposal is accepted and will be done with sponsorship that will be found by AROME.
The table of contents will include practical issues of the most frequent cancers in the Mediterranean area. Our friends from North Africa Hamouda Boussen, Noureddine Bouaouina, Kamel Bouzid and Abdel Benider will define table of contents. It is suggested that the writers will be juniors in training under the responsibility of one senior.
All AROME members are invited to send their suggestions by e-mail to Hamouda Boussen (Sarroura2000@rns.tn) or Noureddine Bouaouina as soon as possible (noureddine.bouaouina@rns.tn).
