ISWI Newsletter - Vol.2 No.71
29 August 2010

Dear ISWI Participant:

I am exceedingly, exceedingly thrilled to provide the following information from the United Nations. With respect to our grand endeavor ( Int'l Space Weather Initiative : 2010 through 2012 ), the attached documents are significant stuff. In short, we are "on the map" at the United Nations. Not only are we doing importance science for mankind and posterity, we are also bringing in developing nations into this fold. The ISWI community truly epitomizes what the UN was created for.

The text below is from Dr Hans Haubold.

Dear Colleagues, Date: Sat, 28 Aug 2010

Annually, the United Nations is publishing three UN GA [General Assembly] documents that contain information on their deliberations, including basic space science, IHY, and ISWI. Attached please find the three documents for 2010:

  1. The annual report of the United Nations Space Applications Programme.
  2. The report on the session of the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee of UNCOPUOS.
  3. The report of UNCOPUOS.
    Use the "Find" utility in Acrobat Reader and look for "weather". You will find the place of ISWI in the deliberations of the United Nations.

Sincerely,
Hans Haubold.

Sincerely and respectfully yours,
