| WAC
EXECUTIVE
The
WAC Executive will meet in Athens in early
November.
Details of business will be outlined
in WAB
11, which is due in April-May of 2000.
TRANSLATION
OF MAJOR WAC DOCUMENTS
We
need volunteers to translate the WAC statutes,
Code of
Ethics and Vermillion Accord into various
languages. No language will be excluded
if there are willing translators. French,
Portuguese and Spanish are obvious starters
for European languages with a global reach.
We should also think about Russian and common
non-European languages in Africa and Asia,
such as Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, Cantonese,
Hindi, Japanese, Mandarin, Tagalog, Thai
and Urdu. Those interested should contact
Peter Stone, whose address is inside the
front cover of this issue.
This is an urgent task
Please help.
TRANSLATION
FOR WAB
While
on the issue of translation, there have
been no offers to help with non-English
abstracts for anything published in WAB.
Anglophones may well see English as an emerging
international language, but there are undoubtedly
others who would prefer to see some concrete
acknowledgement of our polyglot membership.
If you are one of them, and can help,
please contact the Editor. |
