IAAHS Online Journal – Issue 2006-1 – 10 January 2006 Welcome to the 2006-1 issue of the IAAHS Online Journal. Former issues of the Journal provided information and news about the IAAHS and international health related issues, reference to health-related information and resources, and contributions of the IAAHS members and Topic Teams. This issue continues the theme of the IAAHS members and teams contributions, and details as well the preparations for the ICA2006 (www.ica2006.com) Paris meeting and the related Third International Health Colloquium (IAAHS2006) participation. We hope for your active participation in IAAHS2006, either actively as presenters or discussants, or as listeners and participants. We also hope that you will be join one (or more) of the Topic Teams and contribute from your knowledge and experience to the Teams and to the IAAHS community. The International Actuarial Association Health Section (IAAHS) was created by the IAA on May 17, 2003, following the success of the 1st International Health Seminar in Cancun in March 2002. The IAAHS promotes and facilitates international exchange of views, advice, research and practical information among actuaries involved with public and private health issues such as policy and program design, research and planning, adequacy and services delivery, sustainability, insurance, pre-funding and other financing methods. The IAAHS is managed by the IAAHS Committee, according to the IAAHS Rules. Since then we had a very successful 2nd International Health Colloquium in Dresden in April 2004, and our nearly 350 members are now preparing for the Third International Health Colloquium in Paris (www.ica2006.com) in 2006 and the following one in South Africa in 2007. The Online Journal supports the objectives of the IAAHS, is a non-refereed forum for communications and knowledge-sharing for IAAHS members, health actuaries, professionals, academics, and others who are interested in private and public health issues. We need your input – comments, suggestions, references and resources, articles and work papers. The Journal will only be as successful as you, and other readers, make it. We wait your input – please refer all communications to the editor, Yair Babad. With Seasons Greetings,
