Dear colleagues:

      We are in the process of establishing a Polish chapter of AIS. If you
   have not been involved in this process to date, but are interested in
   lending support to the initiative or being a founding member, please
   email me with a short message stating your support. Those with concerns
   about the formation of a Polish AIS chapter should contact the AIS VP
   for Chapters and Affiliated at john.mooney@pepperdine.edu.

      Although the formation of the PLAIS Chapter comes in 2005, the Polish
   IS community has contributed substantially to AIS and IS community at
   large, including the following:
    - 10th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2002) was
     held in Gdansk,
    - International Conference on Information Systems Development ISD
     initiated in Gdansk in 1988 and later its 14th editions co-organized at
     different universities worldwide; proceedings currently published by
     Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers,
    - estabishment of Polish Society for Information Systems Research
     (NTIE - Naukowe Towarzystwo Informatyki Ekonomicznej) in 1995,
     grouping Polish academic IS community.

   Regards,
   Stanislaw Wrycza
