Dear AoIR Colleagues: As an editor of Information Communication and Society (iCS), I am delighted to announce that Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto has agreed to be our North American Editor. In addition to being a professor in the Department of Sociology, Barry Wellman is Director of NetLab at the University of Toronto and International Coordinator of the International Network for Social Network Analysis. He has been a central figure in the Association of Internet Researchers, since its inception, and has been selected as Chair-Elect of the Communication and Information Technologies section of the American Sociological Association. Barry Wellman has the academic stature, energy and networks to attract some of the best scholarship from not only North America but from round the world. For these and many other reasons, the current editors, Brian Loader at the University of Teesside and I, look forward to working with Professor Wellman to ensure the continued success of a truly international journal. Sincerely, Bill Dutton Editor, iCS Notes: Information Communication and Society (iCS) http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/1369118x.html Professor Barry Wellman http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~wellman/ Professor William H.
