The formative ideas for this symposium originated in 1978 at the
IAU Symposium No. 83 on "Mass Loss and Evolution of O-type Stars"
held at Qualicum Beach, Vancouver Island, Canada - WR stars
generally figure prominently in O-star meetings and vice versa
Following general appro val by the IAU Executive Committee the
initial ideas were cemented at a subsequent meeting, IAU Colloquium
No. 59 on "The Effects of Mass Loss on Stellar Evolution," held at
Miramare, Trieste, Italy in 1980, which was attended by the ma,
jority of the present Scientific Organising Committee and at which
meeting the outline programme for this symposium was formulated.
1981 was considered an appropriate year in which to hold a meeting
on WR stars, since the last IAU Symposium devoted to this stellar
class had been held a decade earlier, in Buenos Aires (IAU Sym
posium No. 49), and during this intervening period a wealth of new
observational material had been obtained for WR stars together with
significant advances on the theoretical front. The venue for this
sym posium was chosen from the requirement, which can be inferred
from the above, that a meeting on 'hot' stars take place in an
appropriate, sunny climate and followed upon the excellent
suggestion of Dr. C. Firmani to hold the symposium in Mexico."
