Council thanked Brooke for hishard work on behalf of the Institute, and in particular his work for NRPSI, of which hehad been Chair until its divestment.Council approved the audited accounts for the Chartered Institute for the year to 31August 2011, and agreed the Notice of the AGM to be sent to voting members in thefollowing weeks. It was noted that the outcome of the company reorganisation -principally the transfer of remaining assets from the old Institute (IoL) to the CharteredInstitute, and the divestment of NRPSI - was beginning to take final effect in the year'saccounts, as intended.At the previous Council meeting (26 November 2011) amendments had beenapproved to the Disciplinary Framework and Procedures. This had been mostly to'tidy up' the regulations following the divestment of NRPSI in April 2011. At themeeting on 4 February 2012 the equivalent exercise was carried out on the Code ofProfessional Conduct, and the amended Code was adopted, the only changes beingthe removal of obsolete references to NRPSI. At the last meeting, Council had approved the Strategic Plan 2012-14 (see TL51,1),and it now approved the rolling one-year Operational Plan that represented theimplementation of the Strategic Plan. It was agreed that the Operational Plan and theStrategic Plan would be reviewed by Council on a regular schedule.Council received a report on the final stage of the Rates and Salaries Survey, carriedout jointly by the Chartered Institute and the ITI (Institute of Translation andInterpreting). The survey had elicited a good response, and it was planned to publisha summary report in The Linguist(see page 12) and make a full survey report availableto members on the website (www.iol.org.uk). The publication plans, as the surveythroughout, were coordinated closely between the CIOL and the ITI. Christine Pocockand Michael Cunningham (who had chaired the joint Working Group) were thankedwarmly for their work on this project.This meeting saw the renewal of a practice that had fallen into disuse in recentyears, with the invitation to the Editor of The Linguist(Miranda Moore) and the Chairof the Editorial Board (Karen Stokes) to discuss current developments and plans forthe journal. Among the forward-looking issues discussed were progress towards apermanent online presence for the journal, the possible development of special issuesfor specific online readerships, and the relationship between the journal and theCIOL's website as external representations of the Institute's purpose and activities.Council recorded that Alexandra Jones had left the post of Chief Executive at theend of December 2011. During her employment, Alexandra had helped to lay thefoundations for the Institute's future strategic focus, and consolidated its organisationaland financial health. On behalf of the Institute, Council expressed their appreciation ofher hard work and the contribution which she made during her employment, andwished her well in her future career. Council had appointed the Director ofExaminations (Hilary Maxwell-Hyslop) and the Director of Membership (Alan Peacock)as Joint Acting Chief Executive Officers.At the conclusion of the meeting Tony Bell confirmed his previously announcedintention and stood down as Chair. Council elected Keith Moffitt to take up the role ofChair of Council. Keith had been a Vice-Chair, but Council agreed that it wouldpostpone decision on the election of Vice-Chairs until the next meeting, on 31 March.Council thanked Tony for the work he had done on behalf of the Institute during histhree years as Chair and wished Keith every success in his new role.Continues on page 34January 2012
