The IMIA Board and General Assembly would like to investigate the “why, what, and how” for the future of IMIA, based on what we learned and what we know today.<BR><BR>A first survey and request for comment was sent to all IMIA Member Societies, Institutional Members, and WG/SIG chairs in mid August. We know it is a tight timescale, but we would like first responses (even if incomplete or provisional) by <STRONG>20 September, 2012</STRONG>. This will allow us to analyse your initial thoughts and present a report for discussion at the 2012 IMIA General Assembly meeting.
