The formal adoption of the UN Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics has been recognized in several issues of our Journal this year. It began in March with a paper by Steve Pierson, comparing the Fundamental Principles with selected similar codes elsewhere. In the June issue we continued with illustrations of the practice of official statistics, guided by these principles, in two different countries, Greece and Norway. In this issue of the Journal, you will find comments from Germany and Suriname. But wait there is a lot more than principles here; the real living examples of these principles are in the persons who have exemplified them. Hence, in this section, we honor the legacy of Janet Norwood.
