PLEASE NOTE  WINs, updated weekly for members, often contain numerous webpage links to fast-breaking news, documents or other items of interest; unfortunately, after four weeks, many of these websites  [especially newspaper and other media sites] remove items or shift them into fee-only archives.  This underscores the benefit of receiving the WINs as they are released.

You can find versions of the WINs prior to May 1, 2025 located on our archived AFIO website.
