Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the IAML Board, I am delighted to inform you that the Report of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Restructuring of IAML is now available on the IAML website in English, French and German.

Please do take time to read it carefully. It is an excellent document that analyzes how IAML currently works, and offers a suggested path toward a more effective and efficient organization.  

The IAML web site (iaml.info) is to be redesigned to become the central point for storing and making accessible all virtual, public IAML documents. It will be the primary source for providing current information about the organisation for all of its members.
