The IAMB had trouble getting co operation from the Civilian Administrator of Iraq Administrator of Iraq , Paul Bremer , and from the CPA. In their final press release before the CPA s authority expired the IAMB wrote The IAMB regrets, despite its repeated requests, the delay in receiving reports on audits undertaken by various agencies on sole sourced contracts funded by the DFI. In the light of these delays the IAMB decided to commission a special audit to determine the extent of sole sourced contracts. The IAMB was also informed by the CPA that contrary to earlier representations the award of metering contracts have been delayed and continues to urge the expeditious resolution of this critical issue. Finally, the IAMB noted the delay in completing the audits on the State Oil Marketing Organization SOMO and requested the CPA to press for prompt finalization of these.

History The British Helicopter Advisory Board was formed in January 1969 at the instigation of some leading members of commercial helicopter companies in the UK. They realised that there was no single authoritative voice speaking for the whole helicopter industry similar to organisations which represent other major aviation interests. In November 2008, it changed its name to the British Helicopter Association . There are about 1100 helicopters on the UK civil register. Helicopters have been used more recently in the UK for emergency services. Structure The BHA is a non profit making organisation whose main objective is to promote the use of helicopters throughout the United Kingdom and to bring to the attention of potential users the advantages of owning or chartering a helicopter. The BHA has a small permanent Secretariat which is based at Fairoaks Airport in north west Surrey.

The Change advisoryboard CAB delivers support to the Change Management team by approving requested changes and assisting in the assessment and prioritization of changes. This body is generally made up of IT and Business representatives that include the Change Manager, User managers and groups, technical experts, possible third parties and customers if required . ref http itsm.certification.info cab.html The ITSM Encyclopedia ref The CAB members should selectively be chosen to ensure that the requested changes are thoroughly checked and assessed from both a technical and business perspective. The considered change will dictate the required personnel to convene in a CAB meeting. These entities are not required to meet face to face on each requested change, but rather use electronic support and communication tools as a medium. It is however advised that a quarterly meeting is scheduled to review outstanding changes, sign off on approved changes and discuss any future major changes. A CAB offers multiple perspectives necessary to ensure proper decision making. For example, a decision made solely by IT may fail to recognize the concerns of accounting. The CAB is tasked with reviewing and prioritizing requested changes, monitoring the change process and providing managerial feedback. A CAB is an integral part of a defined change management process designed to balance the need for change with the need to minimize inherent risks. For example, the CAB is responsible for oversight of all changes in the production environment. As such, it has requests coming in from management, customers, users and IT. Plus the changes may involve hardware, software, configuration settings, patches, etc. This is defined as part of the Change Control Process within ITIL . The CAB concept can also be used outside of the IT world as the Change Process at a high level can be applied to any system.
