Re Solms-Strous document
Towards the New IFIP

TC6 has serious reservations and does not support this document.

TC6 finds that the document sets Utopian standards well beyond the reach of IFIP.

TC6 finds the document demonstrates a lack of knowledge of IFIP’s real workings and capabilities.

Re Solms-Strous document
Towards the New IFIP (2)

For example, to write that “IFIP must leverage (exploit) its position as the only trusted body of international pre-eminent experts in the field of ICT and …..” is extreme and shows a lack of understanding of the work of the IEEE, ACM, the ITU, etc.

Re Solms-Strous document

Spending money on a “marketing manager” to market items which IFIP does not have would be a waste of IFIP funds

Instead, IFIP should build upon its existing successful conferences and proposed new activities such as an IFIP Digital Library
