ISWI Newsletter - Vol.5 No.106
08 October 2013
Dear ISWI Participant:
There are three noteworthy reports attached.
[1] Conference proceedings "International round-table on Extreme space weather: Geomagnetic storms, GNSS disruptions and the impact on vital functions in society"....Stockholm, 5-6 September 2012.
[2] Report of the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee on its fiftieth session, held in Vienna from 11 to 22 February 2013.
[3] Report of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space Fifty-sixth session, 12-21 June 2013.
Please note this important point: These official reports from the United Nations (generally translated into the six official languages of the UN) are *entirely* based on the inputs from member States (i.e., countries). Therefore, if you wish to recommend something or comment upon something, then the task is much easier than you think. Contact your representative to have your views aired during these annual Vienna meetings. Also to be considered: Become a representative for your country and attend the meetings. Then you can air your views directly.
All big things begin with someone's idea.
