Context

This report updates the report presented on the occasion of the UIA Bureau meeting (January 2005) as a closing activity report for 2004, following that prepared for the UIA Council meeting (October 2004, Document #2). The previous Summary of Activities (26 May 2004) was distributed in preparation for the June 2004 Council meeting (subsequently cancelled and replaced by an Informal Meeting). As input to the debate at the October 2005 General Assembly, it also summarizes information on some earlier items since the previous Assembly (October 2003).

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.
