This Manual of Procedures is intended to document and codify the administrative functions of the Union. It therefore contains documents which are relatively static. It is possible that they may not contain the most up to date information about events, meetings, etc. Such information is to be found on the main part of the web site (http://www.iuvsta.org) which should always be relatively up to date.

Where names appear in this Manual they may not be current and must be checked before making use of the document containing them.

The primary method of distributing documents related to the business of IUVSTA is now electronic by email or via the website, and this version of the manual reflects that.

IUVSTA adopted a new set of Statutes and By-Laws in February 2011 and this version of the Manual has been updated to accommodate the new procedures mandated by these.
