Dear Friends and Colleagues, the year 2006 lies between the IAG Scientific Assembly in 2005 in Cairns, Australia (the proceedings of which were very recently received -- thanks to the Australian "crew" led by Paul Tregoning and Chris Rizos) and the IAG/IUGG General Assembly in Perugia in Summer 2007. At first sight one would therefore expect 2006 to be an year of "peace and tranquility" for the IAG. The following -- very personal and incomplete -- remarks prove that this (...)

The commitment associated with this position is heavier than that associated with any of the other IAG executive positions. The IAG executive committee has therefore decided to separate the election of the new Secretary Gen(...)

BOULDER—A globe-spanning constellation of six satellites expected to improve weather forecasts, monitor climate change, and enhance space weather research headed into orbit on April 15. A Minotaur rocket launched the array from Vandenberg Air Force Base. The low-orbiting satellites will be the first to provide atmospheric data daily in real time over thousands of points on Earth for both research and operational weather forecasting by measuring the bending of radio signal(...)

Dear Friends and Colleagues, The year 2005 was a very busy year for IAG. The events related to the earthquake off the coast of Sumatra and the devastating tsunami affecting a large region of our globe demonstrated the importance of precise geodetic measurements and analysis, in particular of the development and deployment of early warning systems based on geodetic tools. From the IAG perspective the Scientific Assembly in Cairns (joint with the corresponding events of I(...)

Dear Friends and Colleagues, it is not unusual that presidents of Associations like the IAG try to summarize the important events in the Association\'s life of the elapsed year. In an attempt to be brief I will focus only on few topics, which I believe to be noteworthy. Business as usual (?) In 2005 the new structure of IAG really started functioning. From my perspective, most elements are now performing well, today. Let me therefore express my thanks(...)
