How to serve the community best? Dear Colleagues, You may be aware that the new society (Inverse Problems International Association, IPIA) has a web page and is the process of seeking input as to how best to serve the mathematical inverse problems community. To this end, we have designed a survey to determine priorities for the society. This survey can be found from http://www.inverse-problems.net/ If you already have registered with IPIA you will be required to login first at Login If you have not yet registered, this is quickly done from Registration The plan is collect this information solely to decide on which activities the society should concentrate. We will then use this to draw up preliminary bye-laws and then hold open elections for the society's officers. I encourage you to fill out this form as soon as possible but certainly by November 9. Please share this information as see fit, for we would like to obtain maximum participation in the survey. With best regards Bill Rundell (for the IPIA steering committee) AUTHOR: 1
