Jef Tombeur écrivit, précisément le 3/05/00 :

L'Icograda le fait aussi, mais par liste de diffusion. Son propos est 
plus large : non pas seulement la typographie, l'ensemble des 
activités relatives au design.

Ils viennent enfin, si j'en juge par leur bulletin du 28 avril (pas 
testé de visu), de donner vie à leur site web (qui, auparavant, 
n'était qu'une vulgaire carte de visite).

Pour info, voici un texte de l'Icograda à ce sujet :

Icograda launches Website on World Graphics Day, 2000 Istanbul, Turkey
27 April 2000

In a special ceremony to mark World Graphics Day 2000, the 
International Council of Graphic Design Associations (Icograda) today 
declared its new website, www.icograda.org, open to the world.  

Design dignitaries from around the world, in Istanbul for 'Grafist 
2000 - Istanbul International Graphic Design Week,' got together at 
Mimar Sinan University this evening to open Icograda's new website to 
the world. Representatives of the Turkish Society of Graphic 
Designers (GMK), Icograda president David Grossman of Israel, past 
presidents Guy Schockaert of Belgium and Shigeo Fukuda of Japan, and 
past vice president Sadik Karamustafa of Turkey jointly launched 
Icograda's new website with a collective "click" of a mouse. Said 
president David Grossman: "That's one small click for a graphic 
designer and one great leap for Icograda. For the first time, the 
worldwide graphic design community will have a common meeting place - 
to share, to communicate, and to exchange views. Icograda's website 
will link design organizations and designers around the world."  

In addition to being a global focal point for the graphic design 
profession, the new website offers dynamic 'News' and 'Calendar' 
functions, provides 'Connexions' to the world design community, and 
provides a 'Library' of online resources. A weekly 'Feature' provides 
articles from leading design publications, 'Galeria' showcases 
designers' work from around the world, and a live 'Opinion' poll 
takes the global pulse on graphic design issues. A special 'Members' 
area offers professional practice resources and documents to members 
of Icograda member associations. The Icograda website is available to 
all visitors right now, at www.icograda.org.

In keeping with the global nature of the Internet, this new Icograda 
website was designed in Winnipeg, Canada, it uses data gathered in 
Nagoya, Japan, and is administered by Icograda's Secretariat in 
Brussels, Belgium.

April 27 is celebrated annually as World Graphics Day around the 
globe, marking the anniversary of the formation of Icograda in London 
in 1963. Icograda is the worldwide non-governmental organization for 
graphic design and visual communication, composed of over 50 member 
associations in 40 countries, and representing a professional 
community of more than 100,000 graphic designers. Icograda unifies 
the voice of graphic and communication designers worldwide and 
promotes their vital role in commerce and society. Icograda holds 
consultative status with UNESCO, UNIDO, and the Council of Europe.
