The SIGCHI International Issues Committee Survey A Brief Report Guy Boy, Executive Vice-Chair of SIGCHI This survey is based on 57 responses to a questionnaire that was sent to the SIGCHI community. I would like to thank very much the members who took the time to answer the questionnaires in a very short period of time (less than two weeks). The results of the survey are quite interesting. Thus, the percentages that I use in this column are based on these numbers and are therefore may not be representative of the SIGCHI community as a whole. Anyway, I wanted to share with you these first results and an interpretation. I expect reactions from you, and you are very welcome to send me comments and viewpoints at Guy. Boy @ acm. org. People who answered were evenly distributed among academia and industry, with a few consultants who provided their viewpoints also. Table 1 indicates major assets of SIGCHI seen by the members who answered the survey. Industry and academia members recognize that SIGCHI publications are important to our organization. Publications mean reading but also writing. Consultants rate networking extremely high. It seems that conferences are more important to consultants
