Among the items to be included in the agenda of the next meeting of the SPP Steering Committee, the following ones to me seem of particular importance:

• Next conference of SPP
• Internal discussion on the future of SPP
• SPP regulations
• Enlargement of SPP
• SPP website and weblog
• Financial issues
• SC membership issues

You are warmly invited to comment on this proposal.

I would propose to hold the next meeting of the SPP Steering Committee in Vienna in the first week of May. To be more precise, I have two different dates to offer, i.e. 2 May and 5 May, of which I would personally prefer 2 May.

This may seem to be a late point of time, compared with the original intention of holding the meeting in March already. I must however point out that I will have to make some business trips in the next weeks and to organize an international workshop in April, so that it is hardly possible for me to organize the SC meeting earlier. However, since our conference this year probably will take place in November only, we will have enough time to prepare the conference and enhance our internal discussions on the future of the section between May and November.

I would warmly invite you to comment on my proposal.
