The network will be a permanent continually updated mechanism and a resource that: 

• identify trends,
• offer special expertise,
• disseminate ICN's and others' work in regulation, and
• organise meetings at our regular congresses and conferences.

Communication to members is via a variety of ways - newsletters, meetings and conferences. As ICN develops its WEB site, communication via the Internet will become an important means for communication and interaction among network members.
