AIC Annual Newsletter 2004

Special Feature:
The Newsletter contains a report on the very successful Midterm Meeting in Bangkok, Thailand. On a personal note, it was a great pleasure and privilege for me to represent AIC President Paula Alessi during the meeting and, especially, to present the AIC Deane B Judd Award to Prof Mitsuo Ikeda on her behalf. My
thanks to Aran Hansuebsai and Frank Rochow for sending the photographs which accompany the report.
Revised procedure for distribution of the Newsletter:
As announced in President Paula Alessi’s Report, a new procedure has been agreed for the distribution of the AIC Newsletter. The representative of each member
organization will receive one copy only but will also receive a CD with a printable version. This will save costs, but will also make it easier for each member organization to reprint the Newsletter for local distribution. Single copies will be sent, as usual, to Observers and others who normally receive a copy of the Newsletter.
Upcoming AIC meetings:
The Newsletter contains details of the next AIC meeting, which will be held in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in November this year, and details of our next Congress, which will be held in Granada, Spain, in May 2005.
