10. what is mutually Achievable
A forum for presentation/publication of technical papers at the Annual Conferences or other conferences. Waive fees for presenters
Proffer articles, and publish in both Bulletins
Advertise mutual events in both Bulletins, and in the CNS Annual Year Book which gives exposure to offshore stakeholders
Technical development of staff and/or members in each others’ fields by mutually attending courses, seminars, conferences, and via networking and mutual visibility
Members of CNS and CRPA can be nominated to be acclaimed by the Honours and Awards Committees as contributors towards nuclear understanding and safety
CNS Presentation to CRPA

11. What can Be considered
Exchange digital Bulletins and information of mutual interest to the memberships
Executives can communicate and/or air views, make statements at Council Meetings by request
A joint seminar for late 2017 or early 2018 for starters, and it would be heavier on radiation protection
Can be a prelude to a joint Annual Conference in 2019
This requires a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for further development …… if so desired
