WFAE Newsletter
WFAE BOARD REPORT: Nigel Frayne, Chair

Planning for the next Soundscape Journal is well under way with a recent call for papers now released.  Our journal committee is liaising with the ASAE on the practical issues of printing and distribution and we are on schedule for publication later in the year.  As previously announced, the Journal is now moving to an annual publication in order to contain the workload on our volunteers and especially to rein in postage costs.  This Newsletter now acts as our regular vehicle for distributing information throughout the year.
    Traditionally the WFAE Board communicates by email and listserv.  FKL via Clemens von Reusner have now set up a web based forum to facilitate the flow of discussion.  We are hopeful that this additional resource will help to energise the Board as we deliberate a number of issues over the coming months.  Included in these discussions will be the addition of new affiliates, planning for upcoming conferences and managing the workload of WFAE business.

IN THIS ISSUE The WFAE Newsletter is a supplement to Soundscape, The Journal of Acoustic Ecology published by the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology.     Our mission is to offer a bimonthly summary of events, announcements, opportunities, and news from the WFAE Board, Affiliates, and other sources in the field of acoustic ecology.
   This publication is made possible by contributions from Hildi Westerkamp, Harold Clark, Robert MacNevin, Gary Ferrington, and the many members of the international affiliate organizations of the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology.
    Issues of this Newsletter dating back to 2004 are archived online. Back copies of Soundscape, The Journal of Acoustic Ecology are also archived.
