Advisory
Committee
on
Forestry
Education
THE CONFERENCE
Approving
the high priority accorded to forestry education in the
Director-General
's Program of Work for 1964-65, according to the directives of earlier sessions of the Conference and in recognition of the widespread number of forestry faculty and school projects being requested by developing countries under the United Nations Special Fund and the Expanded Program of Technical Assistance, and
Considering
that the Director-General needs to be able to call readily on informed and impartial advice in regard to the programing, establishment and strengthening of new educational facilities in forestry, but that the procedure hitherto adopted for this purpose is no longer adequate, namely the convening of occasional ad hoc meetings of members of the FAO Panel on Education in Forestry,
Hereby
authorizes
the
Director-General
:
(a)
to establish under Article VI, paragraph 2 of the Constitution a committee to be known as the FAO
Advisory Committee on Forestry Education
whose terms of reference shall be to advise the Director-General on the evolution and implementation of the programs of the Organization in the field of forestry education and on the ways in which those programs should be developed;
(b)
to select Member Nations and Associate Members inviting them to appoint members of this Committee on the basis of their technical competence, such selection by the Director-General of Member Nations and Associate Members being effected in the light of the desirability that the Committee membership should be not less than twelve and not more than twenty, and that its composition should be representative of the different regions of the world and of countries with long-established institutions for training forestry personnel at the professional and technical levels;
(c)
to convene periodic sessions of this Committee, on the understanding that:
i.
the expenses relating to the services of each member of the Committee and his attendance at sessions of the Committee shall be borne by the Member Nation or Associate Member having appointed him; and
ii.
the Director-General shall supply the necessary secretariat services for the Committee.
