New Chairperson of ILRS
The ILRS Governing Board has elected Dr. Graham Appleby to succeed the late Werner Gurtner as its chair. He will lead the board for the remainder of Werner’s term, through 2010. Dr. Appleby is head of the UK’s Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Space Geodesy Facility in Herstmonceux and has been a key figure in SLR activities and the ILRS for more than ten years. He was involved in software development for the Herstmonceux laser ranger from the early 1980s, following which he gained a PhD in SLR analyses from the University of Aston. During the last 10 years he has been a coordinator of the ILRS Signal Processing Working Group and co-coordinator of the Analysis WG, and is currently leading the Missions WG.

Second Announcement for the 6th IVS General MeetingFebruary 7-13, 2010, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
The sixth General Meeting of the International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS) will be held February 7-13, 2010, in Hobart, TAS, Australia. All IVS Associate Members and individuals who have interests in the application of VLBI in the fields of geodesy, Earth sciences, and astrometry are invited to attend the meeting. The keynote of the sixth General Meeting is the new perspectives of the next generation VLBI system under the theme "VLBI2010: From Vision to Reality". The vision of the VLBI2010 system is gradually being realized. The unprecedented new capabilities of 1-mm positional accuracy and station velocities of 0.1 mm/yr, continuous observational time series or station positions and Earth orientation parameters, and fast turnaround time from observation to geodetic and astrometric result will foster new science and applications. Keynote speakers will be asked to address the keynote in their presentations. The meeting host is the University of Tasmania, School of Mathematics and Physics. Details about the meeting including the registration, accommodations, and abstract submission are available at the meeting Web site:
http://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/meetings/gm2010/

First International School on “The KTH Approach to Modeling the Geoid”September 20-24, 2010, Istanbul, Turkey
After the successful experiences in the determinations and evaluations of precise local geoid models in different countries, we plan to arrange the First International Geoid School based on the KTH approach. (KTH is a Swedish abbreviation for Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden.). The school takes place on September 20-24, 2010, at, and hosted by, the Department of Geomatic Engineering, Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey. The geoid school is lead by
Prof. Lars E. Sjöberg Prof. Serif Hekimuglu Royal Institute of Technology Yieldiz Technical University Division of Geodesy Institute of Geomatic Engineering Stockholm, Sweden Istanbul, Turkey Head of Geoid School Head of L. O. C.
