Dear ACM Member,

Welcome to the May edition of ACM MemberNet.

In this issue we cover the ACM awards, given to recognize leaders in 
computing research, public service, and innovative thinking.

Russian university teams again dominated ACM's International Collegiate
Programming Contest. See this issue for the complete standings.

USACM addresses the hot issue of VoIP, Voice over Internet Protocol.
And we follow up on conferences devoted to freedom and privacy issues,
human-computer interaction, and the World Wide Web.
