We would like to issue a Call for Proposals to host the 2018 Triennial Conference of IAACS. The next designated meeting area is Asia. However, we also are opening this call to Oceania.

The proposals will be taken up and the decision made in the open General Assembly Meeting of the Ottawa Conference.
