                  Phuket for either 3^rd or 4^th Asia-Pacific conference in 2008 and 2010,

                  respectively.  ISPOR-Thailand chapter comittee will help organizing the

                  conference if the proposal got accepted.

3. Agenda for consideration

      3.1 Review Thailand Chapter Constitution: comments, edits, election for

            president, president-elect, secretary, nominate more members

            ISPOR-Thailand chapter constitution was reviewed.  The update copy was

            in the attached file.  The major revision included term of the committee, as

            it was proposed two years instead of one year.

            For president, president-elect, secretary election, Dr. Nathorn suggested

            more members should be recruited before the election.  It was discussed

            and concluded that Dr. Nathorn’s comment was valid. Potential members

            were listed and each participant was assigned to contact one or two of

            them.  At least five to seven members were expected.  After successful

            contact which deadline was set within next week, names and emails will

            be mailed to Dr. Nathorn.  Then Dr. Nathorn will mail out for confirming      

            membership as well as election form.

            Process of issuing ISPOR-Thailand chapter documents and application is

            expected to be done by January, 2006.
