SIGCHI.NL, the Dutch local SIG, decided in its first member meeting of January 1998 that most, if not all, communication to and between members should take place electronically. This also meant that the website should play a vital role in supporting the local HCI community. The newly appointed website committee was given the tough job of building the perfect website for an opinionated audience of 500 usability experts.

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.

At Argus Associates (http:Pargus-inc.com) we use various tools and techniques to learn about the goals and scope of a Web site and the information needs of the various audiences. Although our designs have been well-received by our clients, I've always felt a little uncomfortable knowing that we didn't formally incorporate real-world users into our design process, nor did we test our designs formally with users. We practiced art but didn't apply any empirical evidence to back it up.

This report summarizes a workshop held at CHI 98 that focused on several aspects of information exploration, including user interfaces, theory, and evaluation. Information exploration is a common activity that spans a variety of media and is an integral component of many information seeking behaviors that people engage in. The complexity of this activity, and the need to support it appropriately, led us to propose this workshop. Over the course of two days, we examined several aspects of this problem, struggled with a few definitions, and came away with a better understanding of the design space. Here we summarize those efforts.

Local SIGs are a real growth area for SIGCHI. Local SIGs started early in S IGCHI ' s history as local groups formed to help organize our early CHI conferences. BayCHI in the San Francisco area and Greater Boston SIGCHI are examples. Currently, SIGCHI has about 40 local SIGs that are either fully functioning or in the process of forming. We hesitate to state an exact number, since we write these columns three months in advance of when they appear and the number of local SIGs will very likely increase in this time!

Issues of internationalcooperation in the CHI community were made personal for me when I moved from the United States to France in July of 1996. Things that I should have noticed before, and which had slid right by me, all of a sudden became salient. For many people already immersed in internationally diverse work environments, much of this will probably be familiar. For those who tend to work within their own national environment, here are some observations and suggestionsbased on my experiences working in France that I hope will be of help. The most practical of these suggestions involve how to give a talk for an international audience, whether or not you're a native speaker of the meeting's target language.

In 1996 1 wrote an article for the SIGCH1 Bulletin discussing progress in HCI education (Sears, 1996). As part of that article, I included the results of a email survey. The goal was to identify where students could earn degrees in human-computer interaction. This was fundamentally different from the HCI Education Survey which gathered a much broader variety of information about degrees, courses, concentrations, and faculty (http:// www.acm.org/sigchi/educhi/). One of the clearest results at the time was that no common name existed for the degree that spanned a variety of disciplines. As a result, any degree that claimed to focus on human-computer interaction was included in the 1996 article.

The three contacted the organizers of MCI and had discussions with them about what they thought of the idea, and the best way to proceed: we didn't want SIGCHI to take over or compete with MCI. The discussions led to the conclusion that SIGCHI and MCI largely addressed different groups in the Netherlands, and the best option was to join forces by merging. (In the event that turned out to be the case: there was relatively little overlap between people who were involved in MCI and people who were involved with SIGCHI.)

To help in understanding what SIGCHI spends money on, I ' l l give you a quick overview of the organization. S IGCHI is most ly run by volunteers. The three areas where volunteers are heavily used are: the S IGCHI Executive Committee, which consists o f elected and appointed members who oversee all of the activities o f S IGCHI; the Conference Management Commit tee, headed by an elected executive committee member, who oversees the conferences sponsored by SIGCHI; and of course, the CHI conference volunteers. We have an A C M liaison, our program director, who works with both the Executive Commit tee and the Conference Management Committee. In recent years, w e ' v e also hired a conference manager to handle conference logistics, a conference process advisor to train and work with conference volunteers, and a web site development company to update our web site. We took these steps to preserve the quality of our conferences and web presence given increasingly limited volunteer time.
为了帮助你理解SIGCHI把钱花在了什么地方，我将给你一个快速的组织概述。IGCHI主要由志愿者运营。志愿者大量使用的三个领域是:IGCHI执行委员会，由选举和任命的成员组成，负责监督IGCHI的所有活动;会议管理委员会，由选举产生的执行委员会成员领导，负责监督SIGCHI主办的会议;当然，还有CHI会议的志愿者。我们有一个A - C - M联络员，我们的项目主管，他与执行委员会和会议管理委员会一起工作。近年来，我们还聘请了一位会议经理来处理会议后勤事宜，聘请了一位会议流程顾问来培训会议志愿者并与他们合作，还聘请了一家网站开发公司来更新我们的网站。鉴于志愿者的时间越来越有限，我们采取这些措施是为了保持会议和网络存在的质量。

This Special Interest Group was occasioned by the then-impending occurrence of the Policy'98, ACM's first conference on engaging United States policy-making. Since Policy'98 was to follow CHI 98 so closely, many who attended CHI 98 would not be able to attend Policy'98. Therefore this SIG was intended to provide attendees at CHI 98 with the opportunity to consider issues that should be addressed at Policy'98, to enable those who are attending, some of whom would take an active part in this SIG, to carry these issues to Policy'98.
