     *  The AIC (international organization for the study of all aspects
	of colour) is proposing to have its interim meeting in central
	Canada (Toronto is the first site suggested; others are possible.)
	sometime in the early summer of 1986.  The proposed topic for the
	meeting is the use of colour in VDU's/computer graphics, and they
	hope that the meeting can serve as an opportunity for people in
	computer graphics to establish personal and/or working relationships
	with people working in more traditional aspects of colour science.
