From The Membership Secretary

As of June 30, 2004, ICTAC had slightly more than 400 members in 43 countries around the world. This number is expected to increase significantly as new colleagues join ICTAC through registering for 13th ICTAC in Chia Laguna. Early indications are that this will be a well-attended meeting. Each Congress registrant automatically becomes a member of ICTAC for the four years 2005-2008.

Unfortunately, circumstances will not allow me to attend 13th ICTAC. I will miss the opportunity to renew many old friendships as well as to make new ones.

For those whose memberships expired on Dec. 31, 2003, Statutes require that you renew your membership before July 1, 2004 or you will be dropped from our mailing list. Don't let this happen to you - renew early.

Our scientific community is constantly changing, with new addresses (postal and e-mail), telephone and fax numbers. If any of your contact information has changed, please let us know. ICTAC can't continue to serve you if it can't get in touch with you.

My very best wishes to each of you.

H.G. McAdie
