Subject: [IMU AO CL 3/2016] Possible adjustments of the rules for IMU awards

Dear colleagues,

At the previous General Assembly (GA) in 2014, various issues regarding IMU
awards,
and in particular, the Fields Medal, were discussed.
Specifically, the following resolution (Resolution 11, complete text
attached) was
passed, asking for an ad-hoc committee to formulate recommendations about

1) announcing the prize winners before the opening ceremony of the ICM,
2) the possibility of single awards being shared by several collaborators,
and
3) changing or relaxing the currently specified age limits.

The Executive Committee (EC) of the IMU established an ad-hoc committee,
chaired by John Ball (previous President of IMU) to consider these issues
and
formulate recommendations. The ad-hoc committee’s report (attached) was
presented by John Ball at the IMU EC meeting that took place on April 2–3,
2016,
in Kyoto.

The recommendation of the ad-hoc committee is to impose no changes in the
rules governing the IMU awards. The IMU EC decided unanimously to follow
the
recommendation of the ad-hoc committee.

The ad-hoc committee report is sent to you for consideration. Possible
changes would
have to be decided at the GA in 2018.   If you want to make a proposal
regarding this issue,
please send it to secretary en mathunion.org no later than January 1, 2018.

Sincerely
Helge Holden
