Joint Sections with AMS
A meeting of the American Mathematical Society took place in New York just after that of the Executive Committee of IMU. For the occasion, IMU and AMS programmed two joint sections on Saturday, April 13. The first one was a panel discussion entitled: “The activities of IMU and Plans for ICM-98” - Members of the Executive Committee, as well as Prof. P. Griffiths, as Program Chair for ICM-98 and J. Kilpatrick on behalf of ICMI, participated on it presenting an overview of some of the main activities of IMU and plans for the near future.
On Saturday afternoon, there was a section entitled: “International Forum: Perspectives on doing mathematics in the electronic age”. A round table was formed by John Ewing, Martin Groetschel, Joachim Heinze, Andrew Odlyzko, followed by a discussion under the coordination of Lázslo Lovász. Since a number of relevant issues were raised during the meeting, like research journals, storage of information and others of continuous interest to mathematicians, an IMU Commission/Committee on electronic publishing seemed appropriated. The issued would be considered by the EC and be in the agenda of the next meetings.

Also, a number of scientific meetings in different countries were approved to receive IMU financial support or just its imprimatur.
