We report inferences for the Sun's internal rotation from GONG months 4-10 averaged power spectra. In keeping with the international collaborative nature of the GONG project, the results presented here are based on the work of several groups around the world inverting the GONG data and sharing their results via the world-wide web. These groups are at the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur, Nice (T. Corbard, G. Berthomieu, J. Provost); Theoretical Astrophysics Center, Aarhus (J. Christensen-Dalsgaard, F. Pijpers); Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge MA (A. Eff-Darwich, S. Korzennik); QMW, London (R. Howe, M. Thompson, in collaboration with J. Schou, Stanford); Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge (T. Sekii, D. Gough); University of Sydney (D. Burtonclay, Li Yan, P. Wilson); and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bombay (H. Antia, S. Chitre).
