IMS Resolution on Freedom of Access to Participation in Institute of Mathematical Statistics Meetings

Because the Institute of Mathematical Statistics is responsible to an international membership, the Council adopts the following resolutions regarding the location and accessibility of its meetings.

  1. In arranging its meetings, the IMS and the organizing committees for the meetings shall take all measures within their power to ensure each IMS member, member guest, and invited speaker the fundamental right of participation.
  2. If at any time prior to or during a meeting, it is the judgment of the IMS President that the host country has denied any IMS member or invited speaker free access to the meeting by failing to grant a visa or by any other discriminatory act, he or she shall withdraw IMS sponsorship of the meeting and shall so notify the organizing committee of the meeting and all IMS members.
  3. In the event of a meeting where possible access problems are anticipated, the IMS President shall request the organizing committee to inform the appropriate representatives of the host country of the policies stated in items 1 and 2 above.
