Dear ISWI Participant:

Happy New Year Greetings from ISWI.

This newsletter has been published since 2009 under a mandate from the United Nations (see Issue No. 1 of Volume No. 1 in the newsletter archives at the ISWI website maintained by Mitko of Bulgaria).

We now have over 460 subscribers all of the world. I thank you for your continuous support since 2009, and I ask for your support in 2017. In particular, please send in material for publication. I will publish any material related to space weather.

If you submit material, it should be a single pdf under 3MB in size. It should have a good mix of text and pictures (say, half and half). It should be written in clear English. Reports about observatories and observation campaigns are especially welcome.
