It consists of eighteen persons from Member States of the Metre Convention Convention du M tre .

The wikt secretariat secretariat is based at S vres , Hauts de Seine , France . A recent focus area of the CIPM has been the establishment of the CIPM Arrangement de reconnaissance mutuelle Mutual Recognition Arrangement, MRA which serves as the framework for the mutual acceptance of measurements performed in the Member States of the Metre Convention.

It was their final album of new material for Warner Music Canada . It was the band s first album following the departure of Linda McRae , to whom the final song The Hammer and the Bell is dedicated. It was also the band s most directly folk influenced album in many years, as Canadian Skye , Rites of Man , Circus and The Hammer and the Bell are all arranged partly around traditional Celtic music Celtic jig s and reel dance reel s. This was once one of the band s trademarks, but one they had virtually abandoned on their 1990s albums. The album was recorded in England at the studios of Jethro Tull band Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre . Barre appears on the album as a guest musician, along with Ric Sanders of Fairport Convention , Donald Shaw musician Donald Shaw and Karen Matheson of Capercaillie band Capercaillie , and Martin Bell musician Martin Bell from The Wonder Stuff . For the album s supporting tour, Tobin Frank joined the band as a special guest . He retained that billing for several years, but is now officially a member of the band. Although the album was well received by critics, it was not widely promoted by the label, and sold poorly compared to the band s other 1990s efforts. It did not produce any hits for the band, although Soldier s Boy did receive limited airplay on Canadian radio. Following this album, Spirit of the West were dropped from their record label.
