News from the Scientific Council and the International Scientific Committees ISC on Places of Religion and Ritual (PRERICO)This proposed new ISC continues to be under formation and is being encouraged to work towards the goal of presenting themselves for official recognition at the Scientific Council (SC) meeting taking place on the occasion of the 18th ICOMOS General Assembly, Florence, November 2014. The working group is led by Britta Rudolff, ICOMOS Bahrain, brittarudolff@gmail.com. ISC on Rock Art (CAR)The Committee is in the process of being restructured through a working group led by Benjamin Smith, ICOMOS Australia, benjamin.smith@uwa.edu.au. Once the working group has revised CAR’s Statutes, and these are validated by ICLAFI, a call for new members will be issued. CAR is being encouraged to complete the revision of its Statutes in time for the SC meeting in November 2014. ISC on Rights-Based ApproachesAt the SC meeting in Costa Rica, October 2013, ICOMOS Norway presented a proposal to form an ISC on Rights-Based Approaches to Heritage Management. They were encouraged to create a working group and explore the topic further, perhaps combining it with the topic of Indigenous Heritage. Industrial Heritage/Heritage of ProductionIn an effort to streamline methods of communication within ICOMOS, and to facilitate ongoing exchange of information and dialogue, ICOMOS Ireland has undertaken to spearhead a review of the current operational arrangements within ICOMOS on the topic of industrial heritage and/or the heritage of production. The scope of this review is to explore whether or not it is necessary for ICOMOS to establish a new ICOMOS ISC or address the issue in some other way. Any such effort would operate complimentary to TICCIH, with whom ICOMOS has a longstanding cooperation and an agreed upon Memorandum of Understanding.
