JENAM-2000 will almost coincide with the predicted date for the maximum of cycle 23. It is natural to use this occasion to discuss the progress in solar cycle prediction and the outlook for future work on the solar cycle. We plan to place this discussion in a broader context and consider the variety of problems that are associated with the present-day concept of solar cyclicity, such as the relation between the global and local magnetic fields, the dynamo, polar magnetic fields and their polarity reversals, solar irradiance, solar-terrestrial relations, and space weather. Is the current solar cycle in any way extraordinary? How has our understanding of the origin of the solar cycle with its active regions changed during recent years, taking into account the flow of new data from YOHKOH, SOHO, Ulysses, and CORONAS? What should be meant by large-scale or global solar activity? To what extent are the available methods of MHD simulation adequate to describe the various processes of solar activity? A special session will be devoted to the activity of solar type stars.
