We would like as many people as possible to attend Medinfo2010 in person. For those unable to be there, we have various social networking options via which they will be able to follow the event and interact. We hope that many of those attending will also use these facilities to provide interaction.
We currently have:

Medinfo2010 Twitter stream - http://twitter.com/medinfo2010
NEW - Medinfo2010 LinkedIn group - http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=3175343
It is expected that many IMIA groups will additionally be planning meetings at Medinfo2010. Please feel free to contact imia@imia-services.org to help in publicising these activities (note: some may be by invitation only).
2. 2010 IMIA General Assembly meeting
a] Date for 2010 GA meeting
The IMIA General Assembly meeting for 2010 will be held on SUNDAY 12 SEPTEMBER in Cape Town, South Africa. Start time will be 08:30, due to the full agenda; it will finish in time for people to attend the Medinfo2010 Opening Ceremony.
The first formal invitation and notice of the meeting has been sent to all General Assembly members via the General Assembly email list. If you are an official representative or other category of GA member, and you have not received this (sent on 07 June), please email the IMIA Executive Director (on imia@imia-services.org)
***Please let us know as soon as possible whether you will be attending the GA meeting. If you cannot attend and wish to nominate a proxy to vote on your behalf, please provide their details, in writing, as soon as possible, to the IMIA Secretary, Dr Lyn Hanmer (Lyn.Hanmer@mrc.ac.za) and copied to the IMIA Executive Director.***
b] IMIA Statutes revisions
One of the key items of business to be transacted at the 2010 IMIA General Assembly meeting will be discussion and voting on adoption of the proposed revised IMIA Statutes. The IMIA Statutes are an important legal document. We have been working to bring them up to date, and to 'future proof' them. We will be sending documents out to all IMIA GA members in advance of the usual document timelines, to allow time for reading and discussion.
It is therefore important that GA members read and comment on the documents, and that we have as many IMIA Member Societies and others as possible attending the GA meeting or represented by formal proxy.
3. Membership fee invoicing
Thank you to all who have paid their 2008 and 2009 membership fee invoices. Some of these invoices have not yet been paid, and we are following up on individual cases to see if there are problems, or there are errors in our records. We will start to send out the invoices for 2010 membership fees in July 2010. If any members need their invoices early, because of their organisation's financial year, or other reasons, please let me know.
4. Forthcoming events
We will generally only here mention those in 2010, unless calls for submissions for 2011 events are open. Notices of these events and others not listed here are added to the IMIA website and IMIA News website when they are announced, when calls for submissions open/close, or when there is significant new information.
