Abstract

The article presents a report from the representative to the International Sociological Association (ISA) of the U.S. Some of the items mentioned in the report are as follows. U.S. representation to the ISA Council of National Delegates has been settled through agreement among the American Sociological Association (ASA), the Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP), and the Rural Sociological Society (RSS); it has also been accepted by the ISA Executive Committee. Thus, the ASA will have the official voting delegate, while the SSSP and the RSS will each have an alternative delegate. The alternates will have the right to attend all Council meetings with every privilege but the vote. The alternates will have rotating priority in assuming the vote when the ASA delegate is absent. A new and sharply escalated national dues structure has now been approved by the ISA Executive Committee, though there will be negotiation with the constituent national associations over the amount at issue. The article also contains a report on measures taken for the constitutional reorganization of the ISA.
