The International Advisory Committee (IAC) for the HUGO Gene Nomenclature
Committee was first set up by invitation in October 1999. The IAC
considers issues of policy which are of importance to human gene
nomenclature, and makes recommendations to be implemented by the
Nomenclature Committee. Members of the committee serve for fixed terms,
and new members can be proposed by emailing hgnc@genenames.org.
