Organization profiles / networks

Yearbook of International Organizations: The publication cycle continues normally.

• Volume 1 (profiles) was completed on schedule and despatched to SAUR on 31 March 2004;
• Volume 2 (geographical) was despatched on 30 April 2004;
• Volume 3 (subjects) is in process and will be despatched on 12 May 2004;
• Volume 4 (bibliographical) has been completed and despatched in May 2004 (earlier than usual, because of the relocation of Joel Fischer);
• Volume 5 (statistics and visualization) will be despatched in October 2004.

As indicated to the previous Council meeting, this cycle has been distinguished by the adjustment in the editorial team with the decreasing involvement of Jacqueline Nebel (approaching retirement) and the increasing responsibility of Nancy Carfrae for the production process (notably for Volumes 2 and 3), the relocation of Joel Fischer (responsible for general editorial and production issues and for Volume 4) to the USA. The special challenges relating to the statistical volume (Volume 5) are discussed below.

Issues involving the relationship with K S Saur Verlag are covered in a separate note on a review meeting with them (see Summary of SAUR – UIA Meeting (Brussels, 17-18 March)
