[IUFRO Div 5] Preparations for IUFRO Board Meeting, Buenos Aires, October

Dear D5 list members I am seeking input about D5 activities for my annual Coordinator report. I find it difficult to keep up with all Working Group activities, so there may be significant events of which I am unaware. Please let me know if you think there is an item worth mentioning in my report. Also, I would like to be pro-active in identifying officeholders who may be considering relinquishing their duties in 2011 at Congress time, and also seeking nominations for the positions which will become available then. There will be opportunities for interested scientists to join the D5.00 team. Nominations will be considered at the 2010 Board meeting in Buenos Aires, so please let me know if anyone is interested and available as soon as possible.
