Dear Members!


In order to have a better communication between you and the Executive
Committee we start a so-called IFSR-Bulletin. These Bulletins will be
published in irregular intervals and will contain information hopefully
of interest to you. Furthermore we will also solicit your input to
activities and decisions to be initiated by the Executive Committee.

The addressees are the official representatives of our member societies as they are recorded in
the Secretary General's records. As a corollary - please inform us of any changes!
There is also no problem if you name 2 persons!
For direct feedback to a Bulletin, please respond to Gerhard Chroust (gc@sea.uni-linz.ac.at) for other matters as indicated.

We will still publish (probably once a year) the official IFSR Newsletter which will contain
information of a more historical and/or persistent nature.
To ease reading, the text will inserted into the body of the e-mail by which is it send.
Within the next month we will experiment with the most convenient form.
Find below the past Bulletins in REVERSE order!

At the moment we use following identification scheme for the contents of the IFSR-Bulletins
(where yyyy = year, nn-number of Bulletin, aa = alphabetic sequence identifier within the Bulletin)

  • A-yyyy-nn-aa :Announcements
  • D-yyyy-nn-aa :Decisions (of the Board or the EC)
  • Q-yyyy-nn-aa :Questions from the EC to the members (a deadline for response will be given)
