Association News  

The President and the Secretary met in München, and discussed several matters concerning the IAL. Several proposed changes in the constitution of the IAL were discussed; these ideas have been submitted to the Constitution Committee elected at the Salzburg meeting. The Committee’s proposals will be published in the next issue of the Newsletter. Technical difficulties related to the payment of membership fees must be resolved. It was recommended that the history of the IAL should be documented. An excellent framework was provided by Ingvar Kärnefelt at the Salzburg meeting. A meeting of the Executive Council was planned during the meeting of the German Mycological and Lichenological Society at Regensburg in october, but only the President, the Secretary and S. Ott as a member-at-large were present. It was decided that members-at-large will be encouraged to represent the IAL at local meetings in their countries. All members of the IAL are invited to send proposals for the Mason Hale Award and the Acharius Medal to the Secretary. Discussion about the activities of the IAL in connection with the International Mycological Congress in 2002 must start now! Suggestions about lichen symposia at the Congress should be sent to the Secretary. The next Council Meeting and that of the Constitution Committee will be held at the symposium in London 9-11 January, 1998. We hope that as many council members as possible will be able to attend.

Treasurer's Report 

When I took over the office in September 1996, I received DEM 39 (European account) and US$ 2990 (American account). In Salzburg 103 members paid during the IAL3, and a further 132 members subsequently. Unfortunately, more than half of the membership has not yet paid. A few members have complained about the high costs of membership and bank fees. Some have cancelled their membership. Many preferred to pay for the 4 year period because of lower bank costs (I also prefer this solution since it means less administration). Another good solution is sending a cheque, which lessens bank fees. Altogether, 8230$ (incl. donations of 1062$: 912$ from Cambridge University Press and 150$ from a few members), were deposited on the account of the Association in Hungary. Expected expenses for 1997 are ca. 1202$ (including costs of IAL3, 1996 Awards, the Newsletter issues of October 1996, June 1997 and December 1997). After this, there will be 7028$ left (plus the amount of the continuously arriving membership fees). Donations are, of course, welcome. For the members who have not paid yet, the final deadline before cancellation of membership is January 30, 1998. After that date the Newsletter will only be sent to paid subscribers. 

The following accounts are available: 1) Edit Farkas, Institute of Ecology and Botany, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, H-2163 Vácrátót, Hungary - cheques should be made payable to: Hungarian Foreign Trade Bank, H-1051 Budapest, Szent István tér 11, Acc. no.: 501-00047-2100-4019 MTA "TUDOMANY", as remark please add "IAL membership fee 1997-98 (or 1997-2000)" - All fees should be paid in US dollars! You are kindly requested to add 5$ for bank charges if you send a cheque, or in case of bank transfer the sender should pay all bank fees. 2) IAL dues can be also paid to: François Lutzoni, Deputy Treasurer, Center for Evolutionary and Environmental Biology, Dept. of Botany, The Field Museum of Natural History, Roosevelt Road at Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60605, USA.
