20. PROGRESS ON IMPLEMENTATION OF STRENGTHENED SECRETARIAT AND ESTABLISHMENT OF PERMANENT OFFICES

(from "Chairman's Report of the Twenty-Eighth Meeting")

The Commission had appointed Dr R. Gambell to be its full-time Secretary, and he took up office on 1 May 1976.

The Secretary reported that Mr M. Harvey had been appointed Executive Officer with effect from 14 June 1976.

It was not now possible for the Commission's offices to be located with the British Antarctic Survey as had been proposed originally, but suitable accommodation had been obtained on the outskirts of Cambridge. It was expected that the Secretariat would be able to move there during August, when typing and clerical staff would be appointed.
