Abstract
THE Royal Aeronautical Society has decided to form Divisions of the Society within the British Commonwealth, and steps are being taken to establish such Divisions in Australia and also in New Zealand by January 1, 1949. These Divisions (and those in other Dominions as formed) will have power to form branches of the Royal Aeronautical Society in their own countries, similar to those formed by the Society in Great Britain. Members of the Division will all be full registered members of the Society, and the Division will have the power to act in most respects exactly as the parent body in London. The only important exception is the actual election of members as associate fellows, so that a consistent standard will be set throughout the World ; all such technical members will be elected by the Royal Aeronautical Society in London. But the Divisions will follow their own activities in their own countries in the Ways which best suit that country and local conditions, and they will not be tied down in any Way by rules or regulations which apply to Great Britain or the other Divisions.
