>This message concerns the ICMEs 10 and 11.
>
>1-)  ICME-10
>First, a reminder that the first deadline for registration to the Tenth 
>International Congress on Mathematical Education  (ICME-10), to be held in 
>Copenhagen on July 4-11 of this year, is FEBRUARY 28. This "early bird" 
>registration deadine comes with a substantially reduced registration 
>fees.  You are especially invited to urge your colleagues wishing to 
>obtain lower-priced accommodations to take action quickly.
>
>2-)  ICME-11
>As announced earlier, the Executive Committee of ICMI has received during 
>2002 three declarations of intent to present a bid for hosting ICME-11 in 
>2008, namely from China, Korea and Mexico.  The SARS problem in 2003 
>prevented our Chinese colleagues from completing the preparation of their 
>formal bid.  Sites visits to Korea and Mexico by a delegation of members 
>of the Executive Committee of ICMI were organised in 2003, which allowed 
>the EC to appreciate the quality of the local infrastructure, the support 
>the project was receiving in the country as well as the expertise of the 
>organising team.
>
>The ICMI Executive Committee is pleased to announce its decision of 
>accepting the invitation from Mexico.  We hope the international 
>mathematical education community will enthusiastically receive the 
>invitation of our Mexican colleagues for 2008, so to make ICME-11 a 
>memorable event from Mexican, Latin American and international 
>perspectives.  The precise dates and site of ICME-11 will be announced soon.
>
>The ICMI Executive Committee wishes to express its gratitude to the 
>mathematics education and mathematics communities in the three countries, 
>and especially the committee that prepared the Korean bid, chaired by 
>Professor Sung Je Cho, ICMI Representative from Korea and President of 
>Korean Sub-Commission for ICMI, and the committee that prepared the 
>Mexican bid, chaired by Professor Carlos Signoret, President of the 
>Mexican Mathematical Society.  The EC was highly impressed by the quality 
>of the two dossiers they presented and hopes that the enthusiasm of those 
>who supported these bids will reflect not only in ICME-11, but in future 
>ICMEs as well.
>
>Best wishes,
