Dear colleague:

This a joint Circular Letter from the organizers of ICM'98 in Berlin and
the organizers of the next International Congress (ICM2002) in Beijing.

The ICM'98 organizers would like to thank again all those mathematicians 
who have participated in ICM'98 and made this congress an outstanding
event. We do hope that you all enjoyed this meeting and that you are
considering taking part in the next International Congress in Beijing.

Those mathematicians on the current ICM'98 mailing list who were unable to
participate in ICM'98 might want to consider to travel to Beijing in 2002
and to prepare for the trip by gathering information from the organizers 
of ICM2002.

This is why the two Organizing Committees write this joint Circular 
Letter. It is the last Circular Letter of ICM'98 and the first of ICM2002.


The next International Congress of Mathematicians, ICM2002, will be held 
at the 
            Beijing International Convention Center, 
            Beijing, China, 
            August 20-28, 2002.  

The server of ICM2002 has been put into operation, and an e-mail
service has been set up to push all information to your desktop. We 
invite you to visit the website of ICM2002 at:

			  http://icm2002.org.cn/

and make a preliminary registration to keep you informed. For further
inquiries, you may send an e-mail to

			  cms@math08.math.ac.cn


To make life easy for the subscribers to the ICM'98 mailing list who are
also interested in ICM2002, the ICM'98 organizers propose the following
procedure.

For all those who are on the ICM'98 mailing list (i.e., who receive the
current e-mail) it is not necessary to make the preliminary registration,
unless you would like to change your data (e.g., because you moved).  The
ICM'98 organizers will forward the data of the members of the current
mailing list, which includes the participants of ICM'98, to the ICM2002
organizers in Beijing.

All those who are not interested in the ICM2002 Circular Letters and want
to be removed from the mailing list are asked to send an e-mail to:

			       icm98@zib.de
                                 with  
			      SUBJECT: REMOVE

We will remove all those persons from the list who have requested this by
the end of May, 1999.  We assume that all other persons are interested in
ICM2002 and will forward their data to the ICM2002 organizers in Beijing in
June, 1999.

We hope that this procedure is acceptable.

We are all looking forward to meeting you in Beijing in 2002.


Martin Groetschel                         Kung Ching Chang
President of the ICM'98                   President of the ICM2002
