d) Publishing proceedings, reports, technical bulletins or other documents such as the World Register of Dams (Register of large dams in ICOLD Member Countries). Methods to achieve these ICOLD objectives include: • The Executive Meeting, with representatives of every national committee and officers, meets annually; • ICOLD officers, technical, admin-
istrative and ad hoc committees meet annually or more often, if needed; • Congresses are organized every three years: The Montreal Congress in 2003 was the 21st congress of ICOLD; • Technical symposia and workshops are organized every non-congress year; and • Regional Clubs of ICOLD: AfricaAustralasia, Americas, Asian and European.
Technical and Administrative Committees ICOLD has 22 technical committees, which address current technical issues related to the development and management of water resources. The listing of the ICOLD committees is given hereafter. A certain number of CDA members participate in many of these committees, as listed below. Their names are given with regard to which committees they are involved. A total of 131 technical bulletins have been published, and they are available for purchase. The World Register of Dams, updated in 2003, is available for purchase on ICOLD websites. Information on these publications is given in the ICOLD catalogue available on the ICOLD Web sites: www.icold-cigb.org and www.icold-cigb.net. In addition to the technical committees, ICOLD has appointed two administrative committees.
