To:      IMU Adhering Organizations
       and to all participants of the
       IMU General Assembly 2010
From:    Martin Groetschel, IMU Secretary

Dear colleagues,

While the International Congress of Mathematicians in
Hyderabad, India is running smoothly towards its end,
I would like to give a brief report about the results
of the 16th General Assembly of the International
Mathematical Union in Bangalore. The full report will
appear in IMU Bulletin 59 to be completed this year.

The text below mentions several attachments. These
attachments are not attached to this e-mail, they
will be sent to you in a second e-mail coming in a
few moments. Most of these documents are already
on the Web, the remaining will soon be made
available via the IMU Web site.

But first of all I want to cite the winners of the
IMU Prizes and point to Web pages with detailed
information.

Various committees, elected at the beginning of the GA, assisted
the Executive Committee in conducting the meeting. The EC thanks
all members of these committees (see the list attached) for
their support.

attached and can be found at
http://www.mathunion.org/fileadmin/IMU/EC/Procedures_for_Election_2010-final_100816.pdf
They will soon be merged into a document containing also the
ICMI Election Procedures which are, as before, at
http://www.mathunion.org/organization/ec/procedures-for-election

The new version of the IMU Statutes is attached and can be
found at:

Digital ICM Proceedings of all time
===================================
Finally, at the ICM 2010 Opening Ceremony, the International
Mathematical Union has inaugurated the server
   http://www.mathunion.org/ICM
which provides access, free of charge, to the articles in all
ICM proceedings volumes since the beginning of this series of
congresses. IMU is grateful to all publishing houses that have
granted the right to digitize these books. IMU particularly
appreciates the work of R. Keith Dennis (Cornell University)
and Ulf Rehmann (Universität Bielefeld) who have volunteered
to digitize the articles.

Best regards,

Martin Groetschel
