education and a minute of silence was respected in her memoriam.

Angelika Plank informed the members that InSEA Europe webpage has been
hosted and maintained thanks to the support of the University of Art and
Industrial Design in Linz and Angelika Plank’s young colleague Regina Time.
However there is a need to find financial support for maintaining the site and
she suggested the possibility of adding advertising banners in the site to help
the costs of the site.
Angelika Plank reminded the members about the possibility to use the
European InSEA webpage to publish information or to host European InSEA
organisations WebPages. Members of the council were asked to send contents
to the InSEA Europe Webpage. Marjan Prevodnik and Teresa Eça proposed
the members to send a brief résumé about the state about art education in their
countries.
6. Proposals for The World Council,
The issue of membership fees for InSEA and registration fees in InSEA
congresses was discussed and although the regulations of InSEA are in the
process of being revised it was considered important to send to the World
Council the next suggestions:
- World council members should maintain free registration fees in Insea
Congress however this should not hold true any more for “their
accompanying spouses “ (Congress Rules 6.6.)
- By signing a memorandum of agreement with future congress organizers
attention should be given that according to the Congress Rules (1985):
- 6.3. Congress participation or registration fees should be kept to the
minimum necessary to cover the costs of the Congress and take into
account the salary levels of participants who are classroom teachers,
particularly those in Third World countries. And that
- 6.4 Student participation fees normally should be set at about half the
normal rate. Evidence of bona-fide studentship should be required for individuals
registering as students. Students should be allowed to pay reduced fees for
registration in InSEA congresses.
