It is the time of year when we have the opportunity to look backward and forward. 2010 saw an exciting International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Executive Board meeting in Tanzania, and we are pleased to present some of the proceedings in this issue. The President of FIGO and the Executive Officers have begun a series of meetings of the Executive Board in low-income countries so that the Board members representing constituent societies from around the world can become more aware of the varied challenges and opportunities faced by so many of our professional colleagues, and plans are already underway for a 2011 Executive Board meeting in another low-income country.
