History
The Publications Management Committee was established in June 1993. Its remit was to be responsible for financial and management decisions relating to publications, including study group proceedings. It was to meet four times per annum, and report to the Finance and Executive Committee. It is serviced by, and oversees the functions of the Publications Department. Presently, the main functions of the Committee are:
- to oversee the financial management of titles published under the imprint of RCOG Press.
- to oversee the work of The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist Editorial Board and the StratOG Editorial Board.
- to receive and approve proposals for new publications to be published under the imprimatur of RCOG Press.
- to oversee the operation of the RCOG Bookshop.
- to receive and approve proposals for new regalia/gifts and to monitor their sales.
- to consider new ventures.
From 1992 the Committee oversaw the work of The Diplomate Editorial Board, until publication was suspended in 1999.
