Context

This report updates the report presented on the occasion of the UIA Council meeting (October 2004, Document #2) and additionally serves as a closing activity report for 2004 for review by the UIA Bureau on 21 January 2005. The previous Summary of Activities (26 May 2004) was distributed in preparation for the 10-11 June 2004 Council meeting (subsequently cancelled and replaced by an Informal Meeting).

The main UIA information products have been successfully produced and distributed under long-term contract with K G Saur Verlag (a subsidiary of Thomson Learning).

In response to feedback, and in contrast with previous reports, the focus here is to minimize detail wherever possible. Given the circumstances however, the emphasis is on a level of frankness that seems necessary for healthy remedial action.
