To the presidents and officers of ICOM's international committees (ICs) and 
the "theme"-based (not regional) affiliated organizations (AOs):

At the Advisory's meeting in June this year I was elected representative 
for the ICs in relation to ICOM's general conference in Seoul in 2004. 
Since the challenges meeting those of the AOs intending to have sessions in 
Seoul are of the same character as those of the ICs, I will also try to 
look after the interests of the AOs.

A)
I have been asked to make a note on the type of facilities that ought to be 
offered to the ICs and AOs in Seoul. Input from you will be highly 
appreciated - and will of course benefit you in 2004.

B)
As informed in the message from Jongsok KIM, you will soon receive the name 
and address of your IC's/AO's contact person for the conference. My advice 
is to establish contact with this person already very early in 2003, for 
two reasons:
1) Reaching a mutual understanding on your IC's/AO's work and intentions on 
the one side and the contact person's vision of what you need and what 
he/she can offer in Korea on the other side, generally takes much time. 
Additionally, it is not a bad thing to be early in reserving certain 
facilities for your IC/AO at the times most suitable for you.
2) For a variety of good reasons sometimes a mutual understanding is not 
reached. If you need another contact person, better do the change early 
than late.

Kind regards

Per B. Rekdal
President ICME
