This page provides information on the following topics:
The IOPC Funds' Document Server provides access to documents for meetings of the IOPC Funds' governing bodies and Working Groups on the Internet at the following address:
http://www.iopcfund.org/docs.html
Documents are in a standard format, Adobe Acrobat .PDF, which is a special format designed so that documents retain their original appearance and can be viewed without having the software they were created with. The files can be read by all Internet users regardless of type of hardware or browser. Documents can be printed, saved and incorporated into other documents. Their content has been protected, however, so that neither the text nor their appearance can be altered.
Documents are provided for all meetings from January 2001 onwards in English, French and Spanish as appropriate.
In order to access the documents, the following software is needed. Free or demonstration versions can be downloaded by clicking on the links shown.
Documents for all meetings from January 2001 onwards will be put on the system as they become available. Users can register to be notified automatically by email when new documents are added.
[OUTDATED] Access to the Document Server is restricted to delegates to meetings of the IOPC Funds' governing bodies. A username and password has been issued to each Member State and each State or organisation having observer status with the IOPC Funds. Passwords may be distributed to appropriate officers within your administration. Please contact the IOPC Funds by email, telephone, telefax or letter at the address below for any queries relating to passwords.
Documents can be accessed by three different methods which are available from the navigation bar across the top of the screen.
Choosing this option brings up details of documents for the current meeting, ie the latest meeting for which any documents have been issued. Buttons are provided at the top left of the screen to switch between documents available in English, French and Spanish and to select an alternative meeting date.
The left of the screen shows an index of all the document numbers for the meeting date selected whilst the main part of the screen lists the document numbers and titles. To return to this list later, click on the meeting date in the drop-down box at the top left of the screen.
If a document is available, its title will appear in colour and underlined. Selecting either the document number from the index or the title from the main screen will open the document on the screen.
If a document is not available yet, its title will appear in normal text ie in black and not underlined. Selecting the document number from the index will bring up the message "Document is not yet available".
To print a document which is open on screen, select "File" then "Print".
To save a document or to print a document which is not open on screen, right-click on the title of the document in the list of documents and choose "Save target as..." or "Print target".
Choosing this option enables users to download groups of documents for the current meeting, ie the latest meeting for which any documents have been issued. Buttons are provided at the top left of the screen to switch between documents available in English, French and Spanish and to select an alternative meeting date.
To minimize downloading time, these groups of documents have been compressed, or "zipped", using WinZip and will need to be unzipped before use.
Before a meeting has been concluded, this page will list a series of zipfiles corresponding to batches of documents mailed out to delegates. After the meeting, these zipfiles will be replaced with two zipfiles, one containing all the documents for the meeting and one containing only the Record of Decisions.
Clicking on "List of documents in each batch" will bring up a list of all the documents for the meeting organised by batch number.
Choosing this option brings up a screen enabling users to search for documents by one or more of the following criteria:
With the exception of Title, criteria are selected by means of drop-down boxes.
Clicking on "Search" brings up a list of documents which match the criteria selected.
If a document is available, its title will appear underlined and clicking on the title will open the document on the screen. To return to the list of documents, use the "Back" button in the browser.
To save or print a document without opening it, right-click on the title of the document in the list of documents and choose "Save target as..." or "Print target".
If a document is not available yet, its title will include "(not available yet)" and it will not be underlined.
