Informal discussion on International electrical organizations at Stockholm, June 1930

The growing number of international organizations in the electrical field has given rise to some concern, especially in Great Britain, and in order to coordinate British participation in international electrical matters, the Institution of Electrical Engineers formed some time ago an International Relations Committee. This committee, through the British National Committee of the International Electrotechnical Commission, invited the I. E. C. to provide opportunity for holding an informal meeting during its technical sessions in Stockholm, to discuss this important question. The Committee of Action of the I. E. C., while assuming no responsibility for opinions which might be expressed at such a meeting, agreed to this arrangement. The meeting was held in the Parliament House and was attended by representatives of 22 nations who were present at the I. E. C. meetings, with Lt. Col. K. Edgcumbe, R. E., Chairman.
