Harri complained that he does not get sufficient number of news items from the readership to include in the Newsletter. Everybody is encouraged to publicize this means of information dissemination. The subscription should remain free of charge since the issue at this time is to increase the number of 'subscribers'. Harri Ehtamo accepted to continue in this capacity for another term. The Birkhauser series has been launched with the title 'Annals of the I.S.D.G.'.
Plans are for both volumes to be completed within a year.
A discussion was initiated by A. Haurie's proposal that also a call for papers be placed in addition to the 'edited' papers. It was argued that his might be a bit contradictory to the idea of thematic volumes. Finally, it was decided that one may submit papers by sending them to T. Basar who would then forward them to the editor of the most appropriate volume under preparation. The editor would then be responsible for setting up the review process and accepting or rejecting the submitted paper. Alain Haurie emphasized that we should do everything we can to maintain the highest standards to the Annals, as he considers it the most important part of our activities.
