Election of the TC6 Chairman
by Andre Danthine 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

Dear TC6 Member, It was a tradition to see the TC6 Chairman being reelected for a second period of three years. But Augusto has indicated that he wants to break the tradition by rejecting the idea of a second term. If Augusto confirms his position we have to prepare the more complex process of election of a new chairman. At the TC6 Meeting in Paris, I have been designated for the organisation of the election of the next TC6 Chairman. I will follow the rules adopted by TC6 three year ago. The first step consists in finding a list of candidates. Besides being a national representative, which is a Bylaws condition, the TC6 decided that all eligible members must meet the following conditions : - attendance to at least one TC6 meeting among the last 3 - have already been a conference organiser of an TC sponsored event involving more than a hundred people - make the commitment to attend all meetings of TC6 - make a commitment to participate regularly in the Council Meetings and the General Assembly Meetings. In Beijing, we will first established the list of eligible people taking into account the first three conditions: - national representative - attendance to at least one TC6 meeting among Hungary, Paris and Beijing - conference organiser. After Beijing, I will ask all the TC6 members which will be on the eligible list list to confirm their willingness to stay on the ballot. Staying on the ballot means, of course, a commitment to attend all the meetings of TC6 and to participate regularly in the Council and General Assembly meetings. In order to avoid any misunderstanding, I will invite also all the people on this list who are not willing to stay on the ballot to clearly indicate their position. When the list of willing eligible people will be ready (likely around September 15-20), we will start the last step before the vote: each candidate will have to prepare - a short CV with an emphasis to the TC6 related activities - a statement of interest for the TC6 Chairmanship postion. Why do they want to be chairman, what activities they intend to continue, to discontinue, to create, what will change in TC6 under their leadership. - a statement about the way they see the relationship between them (as TC6 chairman) and the Council and the General Assembly. These information will have to be sent directly to me. I will sort all these informations and prepare the final document which will allow each TC6 delegate to cast his vote for one of the candidate. If none of them get more than 50% of the votes, a second vote will take place with only the two candidates who received the greatest support on the first vote. The people eligible to vote are the national representatives and the WG Chairmen (one vote by WG). I hope that this time the vote will be carried by email with the help of the IFIP secretariat for counting the vote. If snailmail has to be used, the people responsible of mailing of the bulletin and the two enveloppes will be as usual the TC6 chairman. I am ready to check the vote arrivals and to proceed with the counting when all of votes will be on my desk. See you in China Andre -------------- ANDRE DANTHINE INSTITUT MONTEFIORE, B28 Andre.Danthine(a)ulg.ac.be UNIVERSITE DE LIEGE URL: http://www-run.montefiore.ulg.ac.be B-4000, LIEGE (BELGIUM)

TC6 meeting agenda
by Augusto Casaca 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

Dear TC6 members, I attach the proposed agenda for our TC6 meeting in Beijing. I would like to dedicate most of our time in the meeting to the planning of events in each of the Working Groups. I feel this is the next logical step after having stabilized the structure of the Working Groups. We should decide which events are sponsored by each Working Group and we should also decide on the best strategy to promote those events. See you in Beijing Augusto Casaca

WG reports (reminder)
by Augusto Casaca 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

Dear WG and TG chairmen, A quick reminder that the deadline for sending the reports ends tomorrow (August 4). I can still receive the reports until August 7 in order to include them in the meeting documents. Until now, I received only the WG 6.7 report. I would also thank the WG chairs who cannot attend the TC6 meeting, to delegate their representation in a proxy delegate, who belongs to the respective WG and is attending the meeting. Best regards Augusto Casaca
