Dear member,
It is a pleasure to inform you about the forthcoming conference in Vilnius, Lithuania. Enclosed you will find the final version of the programme. The programme only lists speakers who have registered until now, so that we hope to able to avoid major gaps in the actual conference sessions. On behalf of the Executive Committee, I also invite you to attend the General Assembly of our Society, taking place on Friday August 22 in Vilnius. The final version of the agenda of the meeting is enclosed, as well as the draft report of the 2002 meeting.
In an earlier letter (May 7, 2003) you have been invited to nominate candidates for the position of secretary of the Executive Committee. Election of the new secretary will take place during the General Assembly of the Society on Friday August 22, 2003 in Vilnius. The composition of the Executive Committee per January 2003 is as follows:
