Dear Per, Querido Per:
Gracias por el mensaje de advertencia. Thank- you for your warning.
Éste correo está, también, dirigido a todos aquellos que lean este medio
y que hablen español.
Creo que este tipo de información, transmitida por este sistema, es
invaluable. Rara vez, en los países de habla hispana, especialmente en
América Latina, nos percatamos de estos problemas.
No obstante ante el creciente número de reuniones de comités
internacionales organizadas en esta región, es conveniente tener en
cuenta este tipo de situaciones. Por raras y circunstanciales que
pudieran ser.
Aprovecho para invitar a los miembros que hablen español a utilizarlo,
en los casos apropiados, y a través de este excelente medio que ofrece
ICOM. Creo que sería una manera de que reforcemos el uso de este idioma,
que está ya votado como oficial de nuestra organización.

Subject: SV: Fake conference registrations?
Thank you to all for informative contributions with sensible advice on
how to handle fake conference registrations. Maybe a short notice with
information and advice in ICOM News would be a good idea? After all, new
boards with no previous experience are elected every 3 years, so a
warning to all ICOM members through ICOM News might be appropriate.

Dear Per,
CIMAM also has had the same experience. It started about two years ago.
At the beginning I used to reply Asking for more information about their
museum/curatorial practice - now i just trash them automatically.
