WFAE BOARD REPORT: Nigel Frayne, Chair

The new Mexican Forum for Acoustic Ecology is now formally affiliated with the WFAE. We are thrilled to have our eighth affiliate join us and already there is discussion about the next major international WFAE conference being held in Mexico in 2008. Stay tuned for details!     The Soundscape Journal editorial committee has been working on the final stages of the next journal with our colleagues Jim Cummings and Steven Miller who are editing and co-ordinating the issue on behalf of the ASAE. The final edits, proof reading and layout are now almost complete and we will shortly go to print. Jim and Steven have done a wonderful job in creating what we think you will find to be a fresh and interesting issue. All individual members of affiliated organisations receive a copy of the journal and non-member subscriptions are also available (see wfae.net for details). In 2008 the baton for editorship passes to our Finnish affiliate (FSAE) who are already discussing and planning.     The WFAE board would like to extend our warm regards to Gary Ferrington, the editor of this online Newsletter who, while recovering from recent surgery, has planned and produced this November/December on schedule. Gary is a tireless and patient worker for WFAE and we continue to owe him a great debt of gratitude. Thanks Gary!
