The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 1021 ## Schema ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4385:members-council-simon-chau&catid=208","url":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4385:members-council-simon-chau&catid=208","name":"Simon Chau — IVU International Council","description":"Member of the IVU International Council (1999-2000), from Hong Kong.","inLanguage":"en","isPartOf":[{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html#archive"},{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html#international-council"}],"about":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#/schema/person/simon-chau"},"mainEntity":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#/schema/person/simon-chau"},"publisher":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#organization"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https://ivu.org/#/schema/person/simon-chau","name":"Simon Chau","description":"Member of the IVU International Council (1999-2000), from Hong Kong.","url":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4385:members-council-simon-chau&catid=208","memberOf":[{"@type":"OrganizationRole","roleName":"Member of the IVU International Council","memberOf":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#organization"},"startDate":"1999","endDate":"2000","description":"Represented: Hong Kong"}]}]} ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://ivu.org" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "IVU", "item": "https://ivu.org/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Resources", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Interviews", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "name": "History of the Vegetarian Societies", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 6, "name": "members", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 7, "name": "council", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 8, "name": "Simon Chau", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/4385-members-council-simon-chau.html" } ] } ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Article", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/4385-members-council-simon-chau.html" }, "headline": "Simon Chau", "description": "Simon Chau: Simon Chau International Council member 1999-2000 IVU News 2-97 The Chinese Vegetarian Society - The two vegetarian societies in Hong Kong, one English speaking and one Chinese speaking, merged in 1996 under the leadership of Dr. The Green People Show - This new radio show goes on air", "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "International Vegetarian Union", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://ivu.org/images/logos/logo-ivu-tranparent-background.png" } }, "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Alex Fernandes", "url": "https://ivu.org/international-council.html" }, "datePublished": "2026-06-30T23:45:08+00:00", "dateCreated": "2026-06-25T01:38:33+00:00", "dateModified": "2026-10-08T00:54:44+00:00" } ```
