Byeong U. Park chairs the Committee, and the full list of members is given below. The SCC-2017 has been asked to develop a short course programme to serve the diverse needs of participants at the WSC. The SCC-2017 is inviting the members of the ISI and its Associations to submit proposals for short courses. The ISI views the short course programme as an important part of its statistical capacity building activities. Therefore, courses aimed at the development of statistical capacity of participants, including young statisticians and those in the local region, are especially welcome. The proposals received from members and other sources will be reviewed by the SCC-2017, which will develop the short course programme for WSC 2017 and submit it to the Executive Committee of the ISI for approval. Here is some information about the short course programme: <ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%"> Courses should be 1 to 2 days in length and will be offered in Marrakech from 13-15 July 2017, immediately before the WSC 2017 meetings. </li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%"> Topics may be drawn from any area of statistics represented in the ISI and its Associations. Courses that are aimed at the needs of the participants in the local region and young statisticians will be given preference.</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%"> Short courses will be offered with the support of the High Commission for Planning (HCP), the Moroccan agency that is hosting the WSC. The venue for the short courses will be in Marrakech.</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%"> The fees for the short courses are set at reasonably low levels just to recover the costs, and substantial discount is given to students and participants from the host and developing countries.</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%"> Up to two instructors per course will be reimbursed for local expenses (WSC registration and per diem at the UN rate) for the period that they are teaching the short courses. Travel expenses to the WSC in Marrakech will not be covered as it is expected that the instructors are already planning to attend the WSC. It is hoped that instructors will view this as a service to the international statistical community.</li></ul> Please submit your proposal using the <a href="https://isi-web.org/images/WSC/2017/TemplateCourseProposal2017.doc" target="_blank"> ISI2017 WSC course proposal template</a>.
