1.   Note on E-Journal distribution

This special issue of the IUGG E-Journal is being sent to the addresses 
used for previous issues.  Over the next few weeks, the distribution 
lists will be reviewed and revised and will include the Council 
Delegates who attended the Sapporo General Assembly.  Some names will be 
deleted from the list, but could be added again upon request. This 
short, informal newsletter is intended to keep IUGG Member National 
Committees informed about the activities of the IUGG Associations, and 
actions of the IUGG Secretariat.  Past issues are posted on the IUGG Web 
site.  The E-Journal may be forwarded to anyone who will benefit from 
the information.  Comments are welcome and should be sent to the 
Secretary General.
