Renewal of WG 6.x chairmanships
Dear all, at the occasion of our recent meeting in Paris we have renewed the chairmanships of WG 6.2, 6.8, and 6.10. To my opinion in all cases with very convincing candidates (even if the procedure was not completely according to the IFIP statutes and bbylaws, e.g. concerning the designation of vice- chairpersons; see below). Checking the dates since when other chairpersons of WG 6.x working groups have been "in power" I found that by mid of 2007 (or even earlier) three other chairpersons will have reached the end of their 2x3 = 6 years period. This concerns the following WG's and chairpersons: WG 6.4: Arun Iyengar WG 6.6: Raouf Boutaba WG 6.7: Dominique Gaiti. In contrast to our previous habits, the WG chairman is *not* to be elected by the WG members but has to be recommended by the TC. This is also valid for the WG members (see below)! Excerpt from the Statutes and Bylaws of IFIP (section 4.3.7): -------- The members of a Working Group are appointed by the Chairman of the corresponding Technical Committee, with the approval of that Committee. Membership is not restricted to those who belong to an IFIP Member Society. The Chairman of the Working Group is appointed by the TC Chairman upon the recommendation of the Technical Committee. The Chairman may designate a Vice-Chairman and a Secretary with the approval of the Working Group. The term of office of Working Group Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen shall be three years and may be renewed once only. The term of office for Secretaries is three years which may be renewed without any limitation. The appointment of Working Group Chairmen may be terminated by the TC Chairman upon recommendation of the Technical Committee. -------- Thus, in order to follow these procedures more correctly, I invite you to nominate candidates (even outside of the actual WG members but such candidates would then be automatically accepted as WG members if they receive the recommendation of the committee) for the WG's well before our next meeting in Atlanta (May 2007). I (or the newly elected chairman of TC6) would then invite the candidates to attend meeting 2007/1 personally or to submit a written concept of their ideas (if they cannot attend the meeting for whatsoever reason). The Technical Committee would then come to a conclusion at the meeting itself or postpone the decision by an electronic voting (if the decision cannot bereached at the meeting itself). The newly designed chairpersons should take over by July 1, 2007. Hereby I invite you - to comment about the proposed procedure - to make nominations for new chairpersons. Best regards Otto

Dear Otto,
I am the chairperson of the WG6.7 since the second meeting in 2002 in Lisboa. (since 4 years)
I have to apologize for the wrong counting. Since I knew that Dominique was acting as chairperson of WG 6.7 since 2002 i believed that 6 years would be ending in 2007. Since the interval [m:n] has a size n-m+1. You may (or will) this wrong counting as a sign of confusion in my head (what may be true). Anyway I apologize again. The replacement might be valid for WG 6.4 and 6.6 but since my information is from the meeting documents of 2002/1 I might have made a miscalculation in this case, too. I promise to clarify things as soon as possible. Best regards Otto
Dear Otto and all, Last week, during the WG6.6 meeting at MANWEEK 2006 in Dublin, I have announced that my term as the WG6.6 chair is ending mid 2007. In order to make the transition smooth, I suggest that we identify the new chair before TC6 2007.1 meeting, so I can pass on to him/her the needed information. With respect to the process as described in your email, I feel that it will be more appropriate if the WG6.6 members can nominate and/or elect who they feel can be a good chair of the working group. The TC6 committee can approve or confirm the candidate chair. I can ask the WG6.6 members for volunteers and if there are volunteers, TC6 can then look at the candidates and pursue whoever is considered most appropriate for WG6.6 and TC6.
