Dear Alissandra, dear colleagues,
with a deep sadness about the incredible things that happened on the
coasts of Indian Sea I shall propose to the new elected board of ICOM
Austria and to our ministry of culture to collect the entrance fees to
all museums of one day - inclusively donations of the staff and visitors

- for the first steps of help, which must be directed to safe human life

in this region. In a later second step we can do the same to save the
destroyed culturural goods or such ones who are endagered. I ask you all

if you think to do these steps in a similar way?! With best wishes for a

hopefully happy, and successful New Year I greet you all Yours

Günther Dembski
chairperson of ICOM Advisory Committee
