More than 4,500 people from 120 countries joined in the first three weeks. That probably makes the WEA already the world’s second largest association of economists. It shows how much demand there is for a truly international and inclusive professional association. Nearly 400 people have made donations. We are most grateful for these. They now total over £10,000, a sum which will enable us to set up a web infrastructure for the journals and conferences. Although our work at recruiting members continues, we are now focusing on getting the journals and conferences up and running. We are in the process of recruiting editorial boards for the World Economics Journal, Economic Thought and the Real-World Economics Review, as well as five-person editor teams for the first two. We aim to complete this process within a few weeks. We will let you know as soon as the journals and the associated discussion forums for working papers are operational, so that you can submit your papers. Guidelines on journals and conferences will be posted soon on http://worldeconomicsassociation.org/. We are also in the process of setting up the procedures for conferences. We will inform you when this is completed, when the first conference is scheduled and when members who want to organize a conference can submit their suggestions. We are also setting up an Ethics Committee to draw up a code of professional conduct for WEA members. Peter Radford, who is based in New York, will chair this committee. We very much welcome your suggestions and comments. Please send them to [email protected] But please understand that we are under-resourced at the moment. So it may take us a while to answer, and if mail volume should be high, we may not be able to answer all your emails. But we will certainly read all your comments and suggestions and think about them. We intend to bring the WEA membership up to a much higher number than it is already. After the new journals and conferences are operational, the number of members should increase spontaneously. But in the meantime, to maintain momentum and to attract attention from world media, we want to see the number of WEA members increasing month by month. This will depend primarily on you, the first WEA members, spreading the word. We will be emailing you from time to time. FeedBlitz, the emailing service that we are using, requires on this, our first email to you, the message which you will see below ours. It is an anti-spam measure. I have snuck our message inside of theirs (that is why there is that piece of code at the top) so that you receive only one email rather than two. On behalf of my co-organizers, Peter Radford, Norbert Häring, Grazia Ietto-Gillies, Vicki Harris, and Valerie Radford, I thank you for your leap of faith in joining the WEA in its first month of existence.
