Clarifications to the IOA SOPs and Code of Ethics

As a best practice, our Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics will be reviewed every three to four years to address clarity issues and gaps. To facilitate this work, the Board of Directors convened a special short-term Limited Task Force last summer/early fall to make recommendations for clarity revisions. Their draft is ready, and we held a series of events to assist with feedback. 

Stage one was a Guided Review Session that took place on 28 January, during which representatives of the Task Force discussed the proposed revisions and introduced the new Compendium. This session was recorded. The slides and recording link are available below.

The second stage was the Feedback Sessions. The Board sought input on the meaning and interpretation, and how these revisions align with practice. These feedback sessions took place on Friday, 6 February, Monday, 9 February, and Thursday, 12 February. We have asked our RAC leadership in Europe and Asia Pacific to hold space for discussion before 1 March.
