277
I
Council of the ISP which shall be exercised in accordance with
the following rules.
(2) The Brock Medal shall be awarded only in respect of an out
standing landmark in the evolution of photogrammetry, which
shall be a proven contribution to photogrammetry of whatever
form, whether a major completed photogrammetric mapping
project, some fundamentally new equipment or fundamentally
new technique, or other new departure.
(3) Recommendations for the award of the Brock Medal may be
made at any time.
(4) Recommendations shall be made in writing to the President of
the ISP.
(5) Recommendations shall be made by two sponsors of different
nationalities who shall be members of the ISP and not of the
same nationality as that of the proposed recipient. These sponsors
shall consult the representative photogrammetric body of the
country of the proposed recipient (or bodies if more than one)
adhering corporately to the ISP, or, where none such body
adheres, then the recognised national photogrammetric authority
(if any) of that country. The agreement or otherwise of those
consulted shall be recorded in the recommendation.
(6) Recommendations shall be in respect of an individual and not
of a group of individuals nor of any organization or commercial
firm. However, as many advances in photogrammetry and in
the execution of photogrammetric mapping projects may be
largely due to team work, it shall be allowable to recommend
the leader or the leading spirit of a team of workers, or such
person as the team itself may think has made the most important
or outstanding or fundamental contribution to their work.
(7) Recommendations shall be accompanied by a documentation and
explanation of the grounds on which they are made and shall be
sufficiently full tb enable the Council to evaluate them.
(8) Recommendations received within 6 months of the official
opening of a congress shall not be considered until after that
congress.
(9) Awards shall be decided upon only, during the six months
prior to each congress, and the presentation (if any) shall,
whenever practicable, be made at that congress either to the
recipient in person or to his representative.
(10) All recommendations considered prior to any one congress shall
lapse, whether any medal has been awarded at that congress or
not, unless renewed in writing to the President.
(11) Any member of Council recommended for the Award whose
name is amongst those falling to be considered by the Council
shall take no part in proceedings of selection, and shall not, for
the purposes only of these rules, be accounted a member of the
Council.
(12) Six months before each congress the Council shall commence
