ISI and ISI SECTION MEMBERSHIP
MEMBERSHIP TYPES
Elected membership in the ISI
Elected members are elected by virtue of their distinguished contributions to the development or application of statistical methods, or to the administration of statistical services, or the development and improvement of statistical education. Candidates for elected membership must be nominated by three existing honorary or elected ISI members. Elections take place twice a year, under the authority of the ISI Membership Elections Committee, whose recommendations are subject to the approval of the ISI Executive Committee. The annual dues for 2010 are € 73 for developed countries, and € 37 for developing countries.
ISI members who are aged 60
or over and have been members for at least 10 years may pay half the normal
subscription rate provided that they are
retired and not in gainful employment. Details are available from Ms. Margaret
de Ruiter at @cbs.nl. If you would like to nominate someone who you believe to
be deserving and interested in ISI membership, nomination forms (referred to as
"presentation of Candidacy") may be obtained in Word format
here (A free 2003 Word viewer can be obtained by clicking
here).
This form should be submitted to the ISI Permanent Office electronically.
It is also possible to fill in an online form. The ISI Nomination Process has been simplified; for
details, see http://isi.cbs.nl/Nlet/NLet022-04.htm.
Honorary membership in the ISI Honorary members are elected from the ranks of "elected
members" in recognition that their contributions to statistics merit special
appreciation. If you wish to nominate an existing elected ISI member for
honorary membership, a nomination form may be obtained
here (A free Word viewer can be obtained by clicking
here).
This form should be electronically submitted to the ISI Permanent Office. If you
cannot utilise this format, please contact @cbs.nl. Nominations are reviewed by the Membership Elections Committee, subject to the approval of
the ISI Executive Committee. Ex-Officio/Affiliated Membership in the ISI ISI Ex-Officio members are occupants of leading positions
in official national statistical agencies or societies and international
organisations designated by the Council, or represent organisations affiliated
with the Institute. Approximately one hundred national statistical agencies have taken up
ex-officio membership to date. In addition, approximately fifty
inter-governmental organisations, international and national statistical
societies are represented in the Institute by ex-officio members. If you are interested in Ex-Officio or Affiliated
membership please contact the ISI Permanent Office at
@cbs.nl. Corporate membership in the ISI Corporate membership is available to all institutions and
enterprises, which share or support the aims of the ISI. Corporate members are
entitled to designate two representatives who may attend ISI Sessions and
participate in the scientific programme of the Sessions. The ISI welcomes both
"profit" and "non-profit" organisations as Corporate members. If you are interested in obtaining Corporate membership on
behalf of your organisation, please let us know (@cbs.nl) Section membership To obtain detailed information about ISI Section

http://isi.cbs.nl/annual_fees.htm Why should I become an ISI Section member? Individuals interested in the objectives and activities of
the ISI Sections may wish to obtain ISI Section membership. All ISI and Section
members receive a copy of the ISI
Newsletter, which contains a timely and broad overview of international
statistical activities. All members receive large discounts on registration fees
for several meetings and conferences and for a large number of books and
journals (i.e. International Statistical Review, Short Book Reviews, Statistical
Theory and Method Abstracts-Zentralblatt, Bernoulli, Computational Statistics
and Data Analysis, etc.). I am already a member of an ISI Section, why should I join
the ISI as well? One of the main reasons for joining the ISI is that
members become part of a unified international body of select professional
statisticians, whose reputation enjoys the esteem of the international
statistical community. As the oldest international scientific organisation in
the world, members can share in the ongoing effort to foster the public
appreciation of sound statistical practice and the usefulness of statistical
methods. Many Section members join the ISI to support the common
objectives of the ISI, which are broader than the individual Section objectives.
Other members wish to become active within the ISI organisation, be it in an
executive body or a specific committee. ISI members obtain financial benefits
that are in excess of those offered to Section members (for example,
registration fees for ISI Sessions and some other conferences are less than for
Section members). If you have specific questions about ISI and/or ISI
Section membership, and ISI/Section benefits, please contact ISI Membership
Officer Margaret de Ruiter-Molloy (@cbs.nl). Back to Home Page
