well using the Internet Archives' Wayback Machine shows that the last
change to that website occurred back in Oct 2002

"FID's deepening financial crisis continues to result in mounting
debts and a failure to pay creditors, staff salaries, and basic
operating costs.
The Secretariat of The International Federation for Information and
Documentation (FID), which is housed at the Royal Library of the
Netherlands, therefore closed down last month and FID's office
furniture was publicly auctioned to go towards paying off part of the
outstanding  debts.
FID's board is effectively inactive as the terms of office of FID's 12
existing Council members expired at the end of December 2001 and no
elections were ever held to replace them.
FID's archive, spanning more than 105 years of the history of
information and documentation, will continue to be housed at the Royal
Library in The Hague and will be safeguarded by the UDC Consortium
(also based at the Royal Library).
Finally, FID has its legal seat in Belgium and will continue to exist
formally as a legal entity until further notice."
