Hi Folks,
Apart from a couple of corridor chats here at Waikato, I'm not aware of there being discussion in Aotearoa about the idea of bringing the International Community Psychology conference down under but I would be pretty confident that the idea would be well-supported. I would certainly be happy to play a minor role: perhaps on a geographically-distributed scientific committee of the sort described by David.
I've added some University of Waikato names to the distribution list which were missing (Amanda Young-Hauser, Cate Curtis, Darrin Hodgetts, Ottilie Stolte), plus Nikki Harre (University of Auckland) and Christine Stephens & Kerry Chamberlain (Massey University). I'd consider all to be potentially interested - and no doubt they will put me right if they are not :)

Subject: RE: 5iccp in Oz in 2014?
Hello everyone - my apologies for the large distribution list, but we thought this might be a good time to bring the wider community psychology community into the conversation a few of us have been having with regard to the possibility of bidding/offering to host the next (5th) International Conference in Community Psychology (known as 5iccp) in Melbourne/Australia in 2014 - and this could double as the 13th Trans-Tasman CP Conference as well. So far the discussion has been between a few of us at Victoria University, and David Fryer in Brisbane, who will be attending 4iccp in Barcelona next month, as will Chris. The next host is meant to be announced at the current conference, hence the urgency.
Rather than compose a whole new message, I thought I'd just copy y'all straight into this (slightly edited) conversation - so I suggest you read from the bottom up, with particular attention to Paul's 6 points below.
I can probably have a go at points 1 & 3 (not so sure about the financial support!), but more importantly, it would be good to work up a conference committee (or two, as per David's suggested organising/scientific split)with possible representation or input from:
* Vic Uni CP staff/students
* APS College of Community Psychologists (esp Vic & WA but also other states as well)
* Aotearoa/NZ Institute of Community Psychologists/Waikato University
* Aust/NZ/Sth Pacific Regional Group of SCRA
* Critical, Indigenous and feminist psychology networks in the region
* Assorted colleagues/friends in Qld, Indonesia...
I should add that we understand that a bid has already been received from Brazil for 5iccp, so a fallback position could be to host 13TT in 2014 and bid (again/instead) for 6iccp/14TT in 2016, perhaps in WA or Qld. I'm personally a bit more attached to the traditional simplicity of the Trans-Tasmans, but I understand the importance of seizing the moment for Community Psychology in Australia/New Zealand, and I'm sure we could offer the international CP community something special if we can swing it without having to get into an Olympic-style bidding war (am open to the usual bribes of course - isn't that how it's done?).
If any of you are interested in being part of any aspect of the bid, or of the actual conference organisation, should the bid be successful, please let us know - it might be just a letter of support, an offer to co-sponsor, a willingness to pick up one of Paul's 6 points (or later on, a specific task) - or you might just want to stay in the loop for now - of course if you'd prefer to wait to hear further updates via the usual channels - the commpsych list, the APS... - do let us know as well, so we don't continue to spam you. And if you're going to Barcelona, perhaps you could join David and Chris in presenting our bid.
Hope you're all doing well and staying warm at this time of the year.
Heather

Hi David,
Thank you for all your efforts in trying to pull a bid (and a team) together.
In regards to Paul's 6 points, I'm happy to work on what I can (including point 2) with Paul, David and others if needed. Paul, I will be in touch.
Thanks again, David, for all your enquires etc re our potential bid.
Warm regards,
Kyli

Dear Paul and all,
Apologies for bombarding you with 5iccp related email but in 4 weeks I will almost be on my way to Spain and I know the time will fly between now and then.
I will be happy to co-present or present the bid if that is the group's wish depending on who else can be there (It seems it might just be Chris and me who will be there?). If I were presenting a bid for 5iccp in Barcelona. I would like us to be well prepared so I can answer any questions which might be asked and think it important that the proposal is positioned as coming from the collective and that those presenting are accountable to and presenting on behalf of the collective.
Paul, re. your 6 points . . . I would be happy to elaborate number one below in your list (i.e. liaise with a developing 5iccp team). I am keen on this although very busy because I think we can use conference organising as a way of building more intellectual and solidarity between community and critical psychology people in Aus and Aotearoa, on both sides of the Tasman, and so reap collective benefits for each other and those we work with quite apart from the conference
We also need to think about how to offer to the committee in Barca a persuasive case for how the team would function efficiently. Last year I was President of the European Community Psychology Association and had the ECPA biennial conference to organise in my watch (it took place at York, England). My colleague and friend Jacqui Akhurst and I divided tasks into 2 main groups - Jacqui convened an Organising Committee in York who did all the local organising and I organised the Scientific Committee from Australia who refereed all the submissions, made decisions, sent feedback, etc. I think we would do well to have at least these two committees and clearly the Organising Committee would be best based locally in Melbourne. The Scientific Committee members need not be based in Melbourne and I am happy to work on that if that would help. The 2 committees would need to liaise closely with each other and the whole organising team of course.
I m happy also to work on 2 with Paul and Kyli if invited.
It would be good if someone could put together a Power Point presentation with info about Melbourne and Victoria for screening in Barca
If we do want a more geographically distributed conference we need to think how we could present that as feasible and affordable by delegates to the Barcelona committee. The Brisbane chapter might be able to offer a critical / indigenous methodology pre or post conference event for example . . . and some sunshine!
.
bye for now,
David

Hi All,
Let's try to put together a sort of proposal to take to Barcelona. Here's what we could do (please amend/delete/add to the ponts below as you feel appropriate):
1) Describe the team that would be involved - emphasise here how we have a very strong and quite a large team (we have 13 just in VU, not counting others in Melbourne, and we have teams in Brisbane and Perth etc).
2) Say what would be distinctive about a 5iccp in Australia - detailing what the conf main theme would be (perhaps community psychology and colonialism?)
3) Say something about infrastructure (venues,accommodation, touristy stuff, administrative support, financial support that woudl be support etc)
4) say somethign about publishing opportunites we migth open up to delegates (proceedings plus extra) - link with Australian Community Psychologist...
5) Link it to some sort of a launch (e.g CP Aus website or some such thing)
6) Tackle head-on the issue of how the conference will cope with multiple languages and issues of inclusion around ethinicity, sexuality, gender, class impairment and so on (ICCP conferences have always been quite bad at this)
If we can we could distill all of the above down into a pithy A4 document (2 sides maximum), we the promise of a more thorough report if the initial expression. Then, maybe those who are going to Barcelona could decide how to present it (have a team approach).
I'm happy to take on the writing of point 2) if point 2 woudl be useful.
I think this is well worth pursuing and the idea of a multi-site conference coudl be doable (if would be quite amazing/exciting if we could hold satellite elements in each state, or at least more than one state).

Hi Heather,
(and hi Adrian, Chris, Julie, Kyli and Paul),
I just got funding to get to Barcelona (yippee) so should be there all being well.
As you know I am very much in support of 5iccp being in Aus - though I think it would be vital to muster sufficient hands between us to do the mountain of work involved - and I would support Melbourne as the 'base', although if we go ahead I presume we would - as 'a' or 'part of' a steering group - try to ensure the conference was consistent with radical community and critical, and especially decolonising principles, and that might also include some decentralised events around and within Australia?
Here is what background I know so far . . . I was approached by Paul Toro about 1iccp (then called a 'truly international' ccp), served for a while with Paul Duckett on the organising committee and have served on the scientific committees of PR, Lisbon, Puebla and Barca. I did not go to iccp Puerto Rico but will have been to the others. The Barcelona conference was announced at 3iccp Puebla (Mexico) and the venue of the next meeting was supposed to be kept secret right to the announcement at the end (actually the SCRA Pres) let it slip in his remarks just a bit early! I think there will be enthusiasm to get 5iccp venue settled so it can be announced in Barca. During 3iccp Puebla the local organiser, Eduardo, asked me if 'Australia' could be a future iccp venue. I said i thought it would be a great venue but I was at CSU at that time and already being starved of resources so was not keen to take it on without adequate resources so did not pursue it. However I did get regular messages and phone calls from Sydney city conference promotion people for months after that asking if iccp might come to Sydney and offering support - - - I had not contacted them so don't know how that happened but Aus must have been 'in the air' somehow. I understood Rio de J was being mentioned as a possible venue for 5iccp for a while but have not heard that for a while. I have also heard on the grapevine that Irma (Serrano Garcia) has talked of Australia as a good venue for iccp.
I have just emailed Alipio and Eduardo - mentioning all of us as a group - asking what activity there is currently re the location of 5iccp. I have also asked Eduardo about numbers . . . I don't really think there were as many as 800 in Mexico though you are correct, Heather, that I did conjure that figure up in Wellington. I have also asked Alipio re projected numbers for Barca.
Will get back to you all when I hear back
David

Hello again David, Chris and Adrian
Just picking up the conversation about hosting 5iccp/13TT in Melbourne/Oz in 2014 - as regulars on the international scene (and likely to be going to Barcelona very soon), we were wondering if you could suss out more details about what we need to do to submit a formal proposal - I think Adrian mentioned a business plan (ugh - but I guess we have to...), and at our last CP meeting at VU we weren't sure about the timelines (is there a deadline prior to Barcelona - presumably the intention is to announce the next venue there?) and who the proposal should go to - is there a permanent iccp body now? Doe sit have any funds??
David, you said in Wellington that about 800 people attended the Pueblo conference, but that was in the midst of the Americas and not far from Europe, in their summer; could we estimate that we would get about half that number? 25%?? Any particular politics we should be aware of??
APS can hopefully assist with event management - they have done so for several college conferences in the past few years, including the very large Industrial and Organisational Psychology Biennial Conference.
Melbourne also has quite a few Spanish-speaking CPs who might be able to assist with a Spanish-speaking segment of the program - not sure that we can run to parallel translation as in Lisbon et al. I think it would be good to have an overarching committee with a spread from VU, national college (APS), WA, Qld, NZ, that can help us strike a balance between large-scale/lavish and small-scale/accessible (as at the Trans-Tasman last month). I really enjoyed the TT - it was particularly good to be able to home in on a topic like Poverty & Inequality and have some robust discussion about where we as CPs fit into the total picture.
There are probably a lot more questions to be asked/tackled but if you could let us know any of the above details that would be a great start. We have a Vic Section meeting of the Community Psych College next Saturday morning (which will include some feedback from the Wellington TT), so we hope to get on to some concrete planning there and beyond.
All for now. Needed to tick off one task on my list for this weekend before I head off to bed!
