<div dir="ltr">Hello all,<div><br></div><div>the initiative by Daniel is of course excellent and much appreciated, and surely the meeting in Rio de Janeiro could be fantastic.</div><div>I would only like to know about the opinion of our colleagues from Chile and what happened in that context. They first lost the meeting because of the 2019 unrest in Chile and since 2020 I guess because of the COVID pandemia. This was a big loss for them, but also to several of us; I lost about US$2,500 in air tickets, hotel reservations, etc.</div><div>Has the LATINMAG presidency (?) ever checked about renewing that project or have the colleagues from Chile ever indicated their interest to do so or rather not? For the rest of us, this would be useful information!</div><div><br></div><div>Also I would like to know how our lab is or will be represented in LATINMAG, due to the murder of Roberto Molina (our representative) almost exactly a year ago? This is something that is obviously never anticipated and maybe not considered in the statutes, but there should be some action taken by the presidency (?) after some time. Otherwise one could suspect that this is not a serious organization (or rather a typical latin american organization?). Just my personal appreciation, which could be biased. Hopefully I will be corrected.</div><div><br></div><div>From there, I would like to propose some important changes in LATINMAG for the near future. My impression is that LATINMAG has been dominated by few colleagues during the last about 20 years, and that this should end. Let the young people take over! Young is relative but to me it means << 50, the future of paleomagnetism. Which would be great for LATINMAG, as the youth could carry out new initiatives to increment latin american cooperation, beyond previous interests. Such of course are typical in our academic environments, but my faith belongs to the young who have not been involved much so far. These young colleagues are everywhere, just let us give them a chance to define their future and on the side that of LATINMAG. Otherwise, I guess that LATINMAG may be extinguished like the dinosaurs, even without an impact...</div><div><br></div><div>Happy New Year to all, be the (magnetic) force with you! (which could be repulsive or attractive, ho ho ho; couldn't resist that mention...)<br></div><div>Harald</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">El vie, 30 dic 2022 a la(s) 17:09, <<a href="mailto:avto@geofisica.unam.mx">avto@geofisica.unam.mx</a>> escribió:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Apreciado Daniel, excelente iniciativa!
