Immediate Priorities for Action

During the INQUA Congress in 2003, the Commission established an initial set of priorities for action, including the creation of:

  1. A comprehensive email list, to contain interested individuals and other INQUA commissions;
  2. An updated and expanded webpage to ensure transparency through dissemination of information about the commission's formation and membership;
  3. A directory of interests to be used as a database of available experts, and to advertise the fields of expertise
