I assume that you are aware of:

Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_International_Civil_Aviation)

[Sir George Cayley]

This December will be the 70th anniversary of the signing of the convention.

I wonder if there are any events to mark this planned in Chicago?

Thanks Seacue, I am aware of Wikipedia but instructions are, I'm not allowed to use it.

A few years ago, during an inspection of Baghdad Airport, I came across one of the "original" copies of the signed convention. It was in good condition and I managed to obtain a scan of it.

PM me and I'll send the PDF to you.

Of interest is that the "first" signature on the document is Afghanistan, by dint of alphabetical order.

The ICAO website has .pdf copies of the original convention document and subsequent amendments.
