Dear all IFIP friends, January 1, 2003 is the first day of a new year for which I wish you health, happiness, professional success and peace in the world. January 1, 2003 is also the official date of the 20th anniversary of the Internet. It is indeed on January 1, 1983 that ARPANET officially switched from the NCP protocol to TCP/IP. On this anniversary let us wish for the Internet the same enthusiasm, dynamism and success to reach in 20 years a new stage of stabilization.
