6. Annual Meeting of Commission 3 in the year 2005

Unfortunately the attendance at the present Annual Meeting was very poor. As the Commission Officers are interested in a strong participation of delegates and correspondents at the Annual Meeting, the Chair of Commission 3 will  immediately start a survey on the next venue as basis for a final decision on the venue of our "Annual Commission Meeting 2005". In general there are four options for our next meeting:

  • COM3 Annual Meeting during the FIG Working Week in Cairo (16-21 April, 2005), http://www.fig.net/cairo/.

  • COM3 Annual Meeting during the 4th FIG Regional Conference in Havana/Cuba (most likely end of Sept.2005).

  • COM 3 Annual Meeting in early September 2005 in Hungary (organised in Sopron by Bela Markus) within a joint COM2/COM3 conference on "Innovation in SIM and Knowledge Transfer".

  • COM3 Annual Meeting in autumn 2005 in Vienna or in Copenhagen including a COM3 workshop for finalizing COM3-related FIG publication "SIM in e-government" (Working Title).

Gerhard Muggenhuber and Reinfried Mansberger will sent a questionnaire (Ann. in the meantime the questionnaire was sent) to all delegates and correspondents to get response about the most appropriate venue for the next Annual Meeting.

Ann.: We received 25 responses with a clear majority for Cairo as venue. So the Chair of Commission 3 decided to organise the Annual Meeting 2005 during the FIG Working Week in Cairo (planned: 17th April, 2005, 14:00 - 16:30, venue TBA).
