Delegates attended from a total of 43 countries, testifying to the vigorous state of name studies throughout the world. The programme included 182 presentations on the congress theme of ‘Names and their Environment’, comprising 3 keynote lectures, 170 session papers and 9 posters. Of these, 145 were in English, 22 in German and 12 in French. We are delighted that 115 have been written up for publication in the congress proceedings, while a further 59 are represented in the form of abstracts. The proceedings comprise 5 volumes, organised according to the themed sections of the congress itself. Papers by keynote speakers appear at the beginning of Volume 1. Volumes 1 and 2 then cover Toponomastics; Volume 3 covers Anthroponomastics; Volume 4 covers Theory and Methodology as well as Socio-onomastics; and Volume 5 covers Literary Onomastics, Other Names and Commercial Names. The complete volumes are available as a series of 5 pdfs, but all submitted papers can also be accessed individually via the ICOS 2014 website. The organisation of any major event is a team effort, and although the lead was taken by ourselves – Carole and Daria – the congress could not have taken place without the generous help and involvement of many other people. It is a pleasure to record our thanks to the following (with apologies to anyone who may inadvertently have been omitted): • the ICOS Board members, who advised and steered the process throughout; • the members of the local organising team / UK Scientific Committee, comprising Ellen Bramwell, Thomas Clancy, Richard Coates, Alison Grant, Guy Puzey, Margaret Scott and Simon Taylor; • the members of the International Scientific Committee, comprising Terhi Ainiala, Elwys de Stefani, Kaisa Rautio Helander, Adrian Koopman, Laura Kostanski, Julia Kuhn, André Lapierre, Katharina Leibring and Staffan Nyström; • the abstract reviewers, who helped to ensure the high academic standard of the congress; • the Scottish Place-Name Society, which sponsored the opening reception in the Hunterian Art Gallery; • the City of Glasgow, which provided the civic reception at Glasgow City Chambers; • the staff of the University of Glasgow Conference and Visitor Services Office, who handled the online registration and accommodation bookings with great efficiency and good humour; • the staff of the Hunterian Art Gallery, who provided such a great welcome at the opening reception; • the staff of Glasgow University Union, who welcomed us to this historic building for the congress dinner; • Brian Aitken, the website consultant; • Simon Taylor, who organised all the excursions; Preface ii • the excursion

Unlike in previous centuries, people in many parts of the world no longer live in clearly 1 2 demarcated areas, but mainly in agglomerations. Here, between homes, industrial buildings, warehouses and highways, the differences between heavily built-up city centers and sparsely populated rural areas have begun to disappear. There are more people living in high-rise apartments on the outskirts than within the former city walls. Increasingly, people are living and working in differ- 34 ent places. More and more people move between city centers and suburbs on a daily basis, commuting in one d irection or the other. The two are becoming less distinct.

  • Honorable Mayor and City Council From
    STAFF REPORT TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: MARTIN D. KOCZANOWICZ, CITY ATTORNEY SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF POLICY FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF "MAYOR EMERITUS" TITLE BACKGROUND At the July 6 and August 17. 2009 Council meetings, the possibility of establishing a Mayor Emeritus title was agendized for discussion. Shortly before the August meeting Council received a request from a proponent of the potential policy, withdrawing his request for consideration. Council tabled the item. Recently Council has again asked to have the matter agendized for further discussion. Attached to this staff report are the prior staff reports and research materials obtained by staff at that time. (Attachment 1) By agendizing the item for this meeting, the Council may discuss the proposed policy and, depending on the outcome of such discussion, provide additional direction to staff. DISCUSSION As a summary of prior research the title of "Emeritus" is generally associated with the field of academia. According to a dictionary definition, it is an adjective that is used in the title of a retired professor, bishop or other professional.
