Recently the IAU Executive Committee has decided to revise the policy relative to "active members". The previous policy that after 10 years of inactivity, a member's profile is removed from the public list has now be replaced by the decision that inactive members will be removed after more than 3 years of inactivity. The revision of the policy was actually requested by several National Members to be more reactive, and is fully in line with the general IAU cycle of 3 years.
Note that Inactive member means that either a member is retired, has no active email address (for IAU communications and for voting) and/or is not a member of at least 1 IAU Division. If any members wish to become Active at any point they may do so.
Thank you very much for your continued efforts in supporting the IAU.
