President 2013 asked the BM to combine the AHA and AsiaCORD meeting togetherin Korea. Next AHA meeting shall be held in Korea by President Kun Soo Lee.
Therefore, he shall be the next AsiaCORD president. Prof. Hong Hoe Koo will be thenext President 2014 in Korea Society of Hematology meeting. This meeting will be held
two times a year July and November. It is not sure whether next AsiaCORD/AHA
meeting can be held together with KSH or not. Dr. Koo will bring this issue to Korea
and discuss how to deal with.
In addition, if present board member would like to recommend the new board member,
we will use the recommendation form and submit the form including C.V. to Secretariat
Dr. Nagamura.
2. Revision of Statues including membership fee [Appendix. 3]
Revision of AsiaCORD Statue was proposed by Secretariat Dr. Nagamura. Revision
point is the member ship fee. 2nd edition of AsiaCORD statue indicated that ‘The member
fee is not especially required. ‘ to ‘The membership fee for individual or cord blood/cord bank shallbe provided for separately’. Because we cannot maintain the continuous activities and HP

improvement of AsiaCORD without membership fee.
All attending members agreed this membership fee.

3. Membership fee [Appendix 4.]Upon the agreement of membership fee, the secretariat, Dr Nagamura propose themembership fee and fee amounts for individual and group member, which have been
discussed and negotiated with Chairperson Dr Asano and Dr. Nagamura and Dr. Kaiyan
Liu (Financial committee chairperson). There were no objections about the membershipfee, but only Tokyo office has opened the bank account for fee and donations from thecompanies. Korea and China have to open in their countries to deposit the fee anddonations. The concept is to have the hub-office in each country and bank account forthe activities. But other hub-offices are still under preparation.
4. Membership application [Appendix 5.1 & 5.2.]
The secretariat Dr. Nagamura proposed the membership application forms and approvedby the attendees.
5. Up-date of the Home page
Upon the approval of the above forms, AsiaCORD main office will upload the forms
and announce all the attendee and board members who are absent in this meeting.
6. Research Projects Proposal
AHA/AsiaCORD

President and Chair Asano propose to combine the AsiaCORD and AHA from thenext meeting. Because the research contents are similar and AsiaCORD activities arespread not only for the cord blood banks, but also the cell therapy. On the other hand,
AHA field cover the field of unlimited hematology, because the MSC are derived fromnot only bone marrow, but also umbilical cord and adipose tissues.
7. Others
