The AIA issues Public Policies and Position Statements as statements of belief to policy-makers, the public, and the construction industry on issues of public policy affecting the membership, the profession of architecture, or The American Institute of Architects. The Board of Directors is asking the AIA community to submit comments on proposed language for five (5) existing position statements currently under review. In addition the Board is seeking input on a proposed new position statement on Interoperability.
AIA members are encouraged to provide input on these proposals because the AIA Official Position Statements are binding on all AIA official activity, including component activities and on AIA members acting in an official capacity on behalf of the AIA. As such, the Board is asking for comments so the changes reflect the beliefs of the AIA community.
Upon conclusion of the public comment period, staff will develop a discussion draft of all submitted comments. The Board Advocacy Committee will review the comments prior to submission to the Board for further consideration and final passage during the December 2009 Board meeting.
If you would like to offer comment on any of the following draft Position Statement revisions or on the newly proposed Interoperability Position Statement, please fill out the form below. If you have any questions, please e-mail Robin Stevenson at rstevenson@aia.org.
Please submit your comments no later than Friday, October 16, 2009.
The draft position statement language for review is as follows:
