AGRRI MEMBERSHIP

Membership of the main body of AGRRI is based on the following principles

• Need for Industry wide recognition
• Coverage of range of Stakeholder interests
• Balance between 'consumers' and 'providers' of research
• Recognition that contribution is on an individual basis
• Limitation of attendance to a workable size
• Duration of Membership

In addition, all interested parties are invited to be corresponding members, and will be included on the electronic mailing list of information, papers etc. and be invited to an annual open meeting

• Membership should be by interest group, with new members nominated by their representative bodies, confirmed by existing membership (by 2/3 majority)
• Membership should be for three years renewable once

Composition:

• Academia Roger Goodall (nominated by EPSRC), Chris Baker (RRUK)
• ATOC Ian Papworth
• EPSRC Richard Bailey
• Freight
• Government Bodies Derek Chapman (DfT), Philip Purkis (HSE), Micheal Haizelden (ORR)
• LUL Dave Bird
• Manufacturers Rod Muttram (Bombardier)
• RSSB Andrew Sharpe

Specific activities, such as seminars, should continue to be progressed by working groups. Any number of 'corresponding members' would be permissible; they would be entitled to receive papers for meetings and minutes, and would be invited to an annual open meeting.
