The meeting was moderated by Prof. Barsony Istvon, the member of ISA Council of Management.
Madam Wu Ling welcomed all the attendees to this ISA family reunion, and expressed her appreciation to the members’ involvement and support. Madam Wu stressed that ISA was members’ ISA, encouraged everyone to make use of this platform, and hoped more valuable achievements could be made, which needs more supports and contribution from its members. The further development of ISA should be concerned by all the ISA members after its four years long service.
Entrusted by the Council of Management, Prof. Kouchi Zhang, the Co-Chair of ISA Board of Advisors, gave a brief report on the 7th ISA Council of Management Meeting (COM) as following.
The 7th ISA Council of Management Meeting suggested developing the ISA Global SSL industry report on the yearly basis and focusing on the SSL development and markets of the emerging economies in 2015. The report of 2015 should be released within two months after the GA. And the ISA Secretariat was requested to contact Prof. Karlicek to develop the outline of the ISA global SSL industry report in 2016.
The 7th ISA Council of Management Meeting also would like to emphasize that the payment of the ISA membership fee should be focused by each ISA member. It’s called for the ISA members to pay their membership fee on time. The members who failed to make the payment should be noticed by the ISA Secretariat. Also a list of the members who failed to pay the membership fee for two consecutive years should be developed by the ISA Secretariat and reported to the Council of Management. It’s requested that the ISA should strengthen the communication with members, to listen to them to understand their needs, to develop personal trust, to create tangible value to them.
In order to encouraging quality SSL products, the 7th ISA Council of Management Meeting requested to add one item:”the products used in the showcase” in the Application Form of the Award of Global SSL showcase TOP100. In addition to give the score evaluation the Judge Panel will be requested to judge firstly whether the candidate “qualified” or “disqualified”. And for the showcase the applicants must clearly declare whether the design meet the relevant standards or not. It’s encouraged that ISA members actively participate in/ recommend more candidates to the “Global SSL Showcase TOP100” and the “Global SSL Events of the Year”. It’s suggested to reduce the number of winners since the quality of the winners is more important than quantity.
The 7th ISA Council of Management Meeting requested that the ISA should update the ISA website in a timely manner so as to circulate the relevant information more efficiently. Also the Terms of Reference of ISA Board of Advisors had been adopted by the 7th ISA Council of Management Meeting.
The General Assembly agreed on above introduced matters.
