G-I-N Publications

From time to time, the Board receives questions from the members to provide guidance in particularly tricky or contentious areas. Where a consistent need for specific guidance is established, the board, or a subset of Trustees will collaborate to write a paper on the topic to address the issue. Additionally, members of our working groups will collaborate to write and publish papers. All of these papers can be found below.
