Our Association continues to grow and expand internattnally

and significant progress has been made in several areas as

described in the accompanying committee reports. A total

of 35 new members have been formally accepted into the

Association, 10 of whom are from outside North America.

This brings the current total membership to 312, repre-

senting 25 countries. In spite of this, we have as yet

no members from Japan, a country extremely active in

exploration geochemistry. As mentioned in the last

newsletter, the return this year of Dr. Beus, who is now ap

Association member, to his hsmeland will provide a base for

stimulating greater participation in the Association by

Russian geochemists. In Japan, Professor Shiikawa has shown

keen interest in the coming Symposium and has been assisting.

Professor Bloom in gathering information for the Research

and Education Committee studies. Professor Shiikawa is

applying for membership in the Association and has asked

for application forms to distribute to his colleagues.

We hope the ,London Symposium in April will stimulate many

more geochemists, particularly from Europe, to join our

London Symposium - Plans f o r t h e meeting appear t o be progress ing very

favourably. Four t e c h n i c a l s e s s ions aqe scheduled p l u s f t e l d t r i p s t o

The C o n s t i t u t i o n Committee under t h e a b l e l e a d e r s h i p of D r . Coope,

Assoc ia t ion founding p r e s i d e n t , has been extremely a c t i v e i n cons ider ing and

I recommending changes i n t h e c o n s t i t u t i o n t o make i t a wore workable

document. Main a r e a s under s tudy are: extending terms of o f f i c e of

Counc i l l o r s from one t o two yea r s t o provide over lapping c o n t i n u i t y ,

s t r eaml in ing of admission procedures and reassessment of t h e e n t i r e

membership c l a s s i f i c a t i o n . On t h e m a t t e r of membership c a t e g o r i e s , t h e r e

has been considerable divergence of opinion varying from more restricti4e I

membership classification to a very general one-class membership such as

SEG. After considerable discussion Council generally agreed that a

less restrictive approach be taken in order to accommodate everyone

interested or working in the field of exploration geochemistry. Accordingly,

Council recommended that the Member and Associate Member categories be

combined into Member, based on the definition of the present Associate

Member and the present Associate Member category be abolished. Council

was split on the category of Affiliate Member and requested the Committee

to carefully consider the pros and cons of retaining and redefining the

Affiliate category with particular reference to field and laboratory

techhicians.

On the subject of membership I would like to make a few comments

to clarify the Association's position or better still, lack theremf,

on the matter of licensing. Licensing and "professionalism" was codsidered

and discussed during some of the early meetings leading up to the founding

of the Association; however, by the time the Association was officially

founded, the matter of licensing had been entirely dropped. Nevertheled,

some concern still exists in some geochemical circles in this somewhat

sensitive area and the rigid membership classification has been interpreted

by some as being related to licensing qualifications. As a result it is

reported that some geochemists are hesitant in joining the Association

because they are neither interested nor concerned with licensing. In my

view licensing is a personal problem and has no place in an international

scientific organization such as ours. As far as the Association is

concerned licensing is a dead issure, Unfortunately, it is difficult to / -.

The Pub l i ca t ions Committee ,Chairman, D r . Cameron, r epo r t ed t o , ,

Council h i s meetings wi th E l s e v i e r and a f t e r some d i scuss ion Council

unanimously agreed t h a t we should proceed t o f i n a l i z e t h e agreement proposed

by E l sev ie r f o r t h e pub l i ca t ion of t h e J o u r n a l of Explora t ion Geochemistry.'.

The Assoc ia t ion i s indeed f o r t u n a t e t o have rece ived such a favourable

proposal from E l s e v i e r and Council f e l t t h a t we could not go wrong i n

a s s o c i a t i n g ou r se lves wi th such a h igh ly r epu tab le s c i e n t i f i c publ i sh ing

t o a c t a s e d i t o r i n ch ief of t h e Jou rna l . Target d a t e f o r pub l i ca t ion

of t he f i r s t J o u r n a l is next summer and the deadl ine f o r papers f o r

the f i r s t two volumes is t h i s December. Considerat ion is being

t h e Assoc ia t ion and i ts a c t i v i t i e s t o provide under one cover a

permanent h i s t o r i c a l record.

The response t o t h e Case H i s t o r i e s ques t ionna i r e included i n t h e

July newsletter was most disappointing - only 20 replies received. Unfortunately the questionnaire was printed on the back of one of the

pages of the newsletter rather than enclosed as a separate form as

intended. On this assumption, the questionnaire in slightly revised

form is again enclosed in this newsletter in the hope that more members

will respond. Now that plans for publishing our own Journal are being

realizPd and deadlines for manuscripts fast approaching, it is important

that we have some idea of how many case history papers might be

available for publication next year. Therefore, I urge each of you to

carefully consider case history examples and return the enclosed

questionnaire to Ralph Erickson as soon as possible.

The Analysis Committee is preparing much needed bulk standards.

Thib is a very time consuming and costly endeavour and the Association is

indebted to Dr. Lakin and his colleagues for undertaking this task. Note

that six standards are expected to be ready for mailing in January.

In closing I would again like to express my personal thanks to the

various committees for their fine efforts. Much work has been accomplished

And the Association is rapidly becoming a firmly established on going

international scientific organization

The next newsletter to be distributed in January will be primarily

concerned with the Symposium,proposed constitution revision and election

ballots for Council. The Annual meeting is scheduled to be held during

the London Symposium. Deadline for information to be included in this

newslecter is January 10.

A statement of dues owing for the year 1972 is included with this

newsletter.
