    United Kingdom: ME Association governance issues

    I don't know, but I would imagine this was a Board of Trustees' decision. Thing is, the ME Association is a membership org. The BoT exists only to serve the memberships' best interests.

    World ME Alliance, was previously IAFME: International Alliance for ME

    The IAME were seeking to establish a consultation channel with the WHO, since Alex H was first installed in Geneva. My understanding is that formal letters from the IAME to WHO Director General, Dr Tedros "we hear you" Ghebreyesus, were ignored by WHO. The IAME requested a meeting with Dr...

    Updates on status of ICD-11 and changes to other classification and terminology systems
