Dear ICMI Representatives and Chairs of ICMI Affiliated Study Groups,

At its first meeting held last June in London, 
the current Executive Committee of ICMI finalised 
the decision to launch an electronic 
newsletter.  This project had been under 
discussion for a certain time and we are now 
happy to announce that the first issue of "ICMI 
News" will appear early December.

Please find below a note from the Editor of ICMI 
News, Jaime Carvalho e Silva, member of the ICMI 
Executive Committee.  You are invited to disseminate it as widely as possible.

The ICMI EC wishes to express its gratitude to 
the International Mathematical Union for kindly 
offering its logistic support for the publication 
and dissemination of the ICMI newsletter.  It 
will appear every two months, alternating with 
IMU own electronic newsletter, IMU-Net 
(www.mathunion.org/Publications/Newsletter/).

Best wishes,

Bernard

What is ICMI News?

ICMI News  is the new Electronic Newsletter of 
the International Commission on Mathematical 
Instruction (ICMI). This newsletter aims to 
improve communication between ICMI and the 
worldwide community interested in mathematics 
education, informing about actions and 
recommendations of ICMI, highlighting issues that 
are under discussion and reporting about ongoing activities.
In addition, ICMI News will report on major 
activities by the ICMI Affiliated Study Groups 
(HPM, PME, IOWME, WFNMC and ICTMA), on major 
international events related to mathematics 
education and on other topics of general interest 
to the community of educational researchers, 
curriculum designers, educational policy makers, 
teachers of mathematics, mathematicians, 
mathematic educators and others interested in 
mathematical education around the world. Feedback from readers is welcome.

The Editor of ICMI News will be Jaime Carvalho e 
Silva, from the Department of Mathematics of the 
Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the 
University of Coimbra (FCTUC), Portugal and 
member of the ICMI Executive Committee. He can be 
contacted at icmi-news-editor at mathunion.org
