He thought he saw an Abatross
That fluttered round the lamp:
He looked again and found it was
A penny-postage Stamp.
"You'd best be getting home," he said,
"The nights are very damp."

Collaboration AIJP-PWO

'June 30, 2006' (excerpt):
From: Wolfgang Maassen, President of the AIJP
To: Mr. Manta (President of PWO)

"I am very excited that you – representing your organization – became a member of AIJP given that there are a lot of commonalities between our two groups. ...

We are once again at a turning point in time in which the words usually printed on portable media can now be disseminated, saved, and used any time bodiless and digitally. Thus, as of the last 25 years entirely new possibilities have opened to private users, especially authors and journalists in philately. As the world organization of this target group, recognized by all international organizations of collectors (FIP), commerce (IFSDA) and catalogue publishers (ASCAT), the AIJP represents the interests of authors and journalists in the forum of the World Association for the Development of Philately at the Universal Postal Union."
