Volume 3 Number 6, December 1995
Dear Colleagues,
Thanks to you, I have the privilege to share my thoughts with CPGIS members in this column. For the coming year, I will use this space to highlight the current agendas and major activities in the organization, to respond to your concerns, or just to tell you a few random thoughts.
Let me begin by saying a big THANK YOU to Yuemin, our past president, who devoted tremendous time and effort to leading CPGIS to a stronger and more matured organization. Also, I should, on your behalf, thank the members of the BOD, chairs of the executive committees, and the regional coordinators, who participated in decision making in CPGIS and contributed to various activities. A special THANK YOU goes to Lin Hui, who once again successfully organized the annual conference, to Gong Peng and Shi Peijun, who established the Journal of Geographic Information Science, to Guan Weihe, the editor-in-chief of the Newsletter, LI Yuanjun and Xiao Yanni who conducted the first member survey andbylaw amendment, to Lin Nancy, the co-chair of GEOINFORMATICS96, and to Lin Hai and Tang Xifang, who continue giving CPGIS strong supports through the Natural Science Foundation of China. Finally, I should thank all the members of CPGIS, for your active participation of CPGIS activities. I am confident that I could rely on the enthusiastic support from you and from the leadership group to continue the excellence of CPGIS.
After intensive efforts in the past several weeks, Liu Lin and I have finally form the leadership group of CPGIS, which is announced in this issue. While maintaining the basic structure of the administration, we decided to make a few minor changes to reflect the current situation and to prepare for the future development of CPGIS. We have expanded the BOD to include more members in the decision making process. The formation of the BOD also reflects the efforts to have a more balanced representation. We re-organized the executive committees so that they can be more effective in carrying out regular activities. The chairs and leaders for these committees are reported in this issue. The BOD will discuss the guidelines and responsibility of executive committees in its first monthly meeting.
One of the priority of CPGIS agendas is member participation. To create the structure for members to initiate or involve in projects, we added Working Group as the fourth layer in our organizational structure (the executive committees, the BOD, and the President). Each working group is responsible for a specific project approved by the BOD. The guidelines for conducting projects by working groups will also be discussed in the first BOD meeting.
The second strategy to increase member participation is the bi- weekly discussion on CPGIS-L that will focus on technical and research problems in geoinformatics. Lin and I will introduce this agenda to the first BOD meeting. Please send in your thoughts on how such discussion should be organized.
The well-being of CPGIS depends on contributions from its members. I am confident that we will do a good job together. I am looking forward to a productive year.
Thank you!
LI Bin
President, CPGIS

High-Tech towards the 21th century. Professor Xu Guanhua, Vice
Minister of the State Science and Technology Commission, delivred
a speech in the symposium as the representative of Chinese
government. During the symposium, the experience for the sceince
and technology parks in China including those in mainland and
Taiwan, USA, Australia, and Singapore was introduced. One of the
results from the second stage of the proposal assessment is the
location of the HKSP. It has been suggested to be built next to the
campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
2. Professor Xu Guanhua's visit to CPGIS HKIES
In the evening of December 14, 1995, professor Xu Guanhua, Vice
Minister of State Science and Technology Commission, met Dr. Lin
Hui, the director of CPGIS Hong Kong Infromation Exchange Station.
Dr. Lin Hui presented to professor Xu and other Chinese officers the
first issue of the CPGIS journal "Geographic Information Sciences".
Professor Xu appreciated the progress of CPGIS made by those
active members. He also would like to see the establishment of
CPGIS Beijing Station in the near future.
3. Special grant for Geoinformatics program in CUHK
The Department of Geography, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
was recently granted HK$2,900,000 from the University for
promoting its Geoinformatics and Spatial Decision Analysis Program.
The core members of this program include three CPGIS members

SAGINAW, MI USA-On Friday, October 6, the World Data Center
Panel of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU)
meeting in Wageningen, Netherlands, approved the U. S. National
Research Council's nomination of CIESIN--The Consortium for
International Earth Science Information Network--as the World
Data Center for Human Interactions in the Environment.
The World Data Centers were established as part of the
International Geophysical Year (IGY) in 1957- 58. The basic
purpose of the WDCs was to ensure that observational data from
the IGY program would be readily available to scientific workers in
all countries. CIESIN was founded in 1989. Its mission is to
provide access to and enhance the use of information worldwide,
advancing understanding of human interactions in the
environment, and serving the needs of science and public and
private decision making. CIESIN is supporting major programs in
information management for several US federal agencies--NASA,
EPA, USDA--and also for the World Bank and agencies of the
United
Nations system. As a consortium, CIESIN draws upon the expertise
of universities and non-profit research organizations and is
headquartered in Saginaw, Michigan, USA.
In order for ICSU to give the WDC designation to CIESIN, the panel
had to change the definition of a World Data Center in two ways.
First, they enlarged their model of a data center to encompass an
electronically distributed center like CIESIN, and second, they
changed the definition of the WDCs from "solar and geophysical
data centers" to "solar, geophysical, and related environmental data
centers." These changes were made because of the importance the
panel attached to having CIESIN--repeatedly described at the
meeting as "the model for the data center of the future"--within the
World Data Center system.
Further information about CIESIN, contact CIESIN User Services by
phone at 517.797.2727 or via e-mail at
ciesin.info@ciesin.org or
