He contributed significantly to the development of health informatics in South Africa, and within Africa for widely (and was the Founding President of HELINA). He represented Africa and South Africa on the IMIA General Assembly and IMIA Board, and many people will have met him at GA meetings. Many will also have met him in Cape Town at Medinfo2010. He is also known for his teaching activities and the significant contributions he made to his country over many years, including his work in developing education and sport among the other prisoners during his 18 years on Robben Island. Some of these latter activities are fictionalised in the film <EM>'More than just a game'</EM>, and some of his own recollections are covered in his book <EM>"Surviving in the Apartheid Prison"</EM>.

<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; COLOR: #505050; FONT-SIZE: 12px">Thank you to those who have replied to the first survey and request for comment in respect of the work on updating and re-focusing the IMIA Strategic Plan. In the next few months, we will invite IMIA members (in particular Member Societies, Working and Special Interest Groups, and Institutional members) to provide further comment to help us in this work. We ask that you read the current Strategic Plan (on the IMIA website), and consult within their organisations on ideas as to how it should be re-focused and updated. We aim to present the updated and refocused IMIA Strategic Plan to the 2013 General Assembly meeting for final discussion and approval.<BR><BR>IMIA will also be consulting with Member Societies and others on the future financing and delivery of the IMIA Yearbook. We have an 'in principle' future model, but need to consult on the financial issues.<BR><BR><BR>

The project proposal and taskforce have been lead by Prof. Casimir Kulikowski, who will continue to lead the activities (GA members, please see Beijing GA papers for description). As part of this project, and linked to developing and securing IMIA's archives, we are seeking materials relevant to IMIA and international health, medical and biomedical informatics over the past 50 years. If you have materials that you think might be relevant, and are willing to donate, or allow us to scan and archive, please contact the IMIA Office via imia@imia-services.org to discuss further. We will say more about this project in future newsletters and via other IMIA communications channels. We are very grateful to past IMIA Secretary Diarmuid UcConaill who has already scanned many of his papers from the 1980s onwards to help provide archive materials.</DIV>
