Dear Colleagues,

The CIML will hold its 58th meeting in person in Chiang Mai, Thailand, from Tuesday 17 October to Thursday 19 October 2023. It will be preceded by an OIML Seminar The future of the OIML in the digital era on Monday 16 October 2023.

I encourage you to participate actively in the CIML meeting. As you know, it is essential that the Committee has sufficient voting Members for a quorum. Therefore:

• if you are personally unable to attend this meeting and would like to designate someone from your government or administration to represent you and vote on your behalf, please advise Mr Anthony Donnellan, BIML Director, of the name of that person;
• if you anticipate that you or the person that you have designated to represent you may be absent during any of the meeting sessions, please give a proxy to another CIML Member when registering online.

Please note that if someone from your government or administration is representing you, this person may not receive proxies from other CIML Members.

The BIML has prepared this website for the Chiang Mai meetings; it provides detailed information. Registration for attendance will be via this website. The deadline for registering is 17 July 2023; if you are unable to register via the website, please contact Mrs Patricia Saint-Germain (Administrator, Members) at the BIML who will provide assistance.

Lastly, obtaining a visa may be a lengthy process so I urge you to make your application as soon as possible.

Looking forward to seeing you in Chiang Mai,

Yours faithfully,
