Dear all, on March 14 I asked you about a possible interest in an IFIP initiative (or Task Force or whatsoever) concerning "IT and Sports". The number of answers received was rather limited: Not more than two replies (one positive, one sceptical): Positive: "Very interesting and innovative idea" Sceptical: "There are many areas, much more closely related to the core of TC6 activities where we could well use more energy --- but we don't seem to have this energy." At our recent meeting in Lisboa we had more positive comments. Why did they disappear? In two days from now I will have a preparatory meeting in Cologne and if poisble at all I would like to have some more input. Can I still hope for that? Best regards Otto
