How to Form a SIG
To establish a new SIG, a minimum of 15 members must express interest in its formation. Once this requirement is met, a representative from the proposed group must submit a request to PALTmed, that includes the following:
- Suggested title for the proposed SIG
- Statement of purpose for the SIG
- List of members interested in establishing the SIG
- Name of the requestor
PALTmed will review the request. If approved, PALTmed will announce the formation of the SIG via PALTconnect (the member forum), PALTnews (e-newsletter), and on the website.
Note: PALTmed reserves the right to retire any SIG that maintains fewer than 15 active members.
