Word of Alec Hansen, president of TCI
================================================================
In this newsletter I would like to capture your attention for
different aspects of the next conference of TCI in Hong Kong that
will be hosted by the Institute of Economics and Business
Strategy (HIEBS) of the University of Hong Kong. The conference
will take place in November 2005, from the 9th to the 11th.

We will have a meeting with the host committee and the Board of
Advisors of TCI in January to discuss and develop among other
items the program of the conference. However we would like to
hear your opinion as potential participant to this conference and
include where possible your ideas into this program too. Find
below our “Call for content contributions”. Send us your
suggestions for further topics as well as proposals to fill the
already existing topics with content.

Please note that all participants to the conference in Ottawa are
now TCI members for one year! If you wish to get in contact with
one of the people you met there, visit our online member list.
You will find there the data of all members that gave their
