During the Region II and III conferences, certified members motioned not to support PDC 98.01 and to leave the current cycle requirements as is. During the Region I conference, certified members motioned to accept the PDC 98.01 by a vote of 35 to 34. In light of the differences in member opinions, the RID Board of Directors will now consider using a mail referendum to determine whether or not to pass the PDC 98.01. To remove the requirement that CMP academic coursework be submitted to an RID Sponsor in advance of the course activity. The RID Board of Directors approved this motion and effective immediately, Sponsors will be responsible for providing the appropriate paperwork to those interpreters wishing to claim CEUs for academic courses taken during their cycle time frame.
