Thank you Harry. I will sign the paper work for this event as a WG6.6 sponsored event and forward it to Otto.

LANOMS (Latin America NOMS) has been always sponsored technically by IEEE ComSoc. For this year, they are requesting the technical sponsorship of IFIP (WG6.6). See attached event request form. Note that the conference tales place always in Brazil and they are not willing to pay event proceeds. Let me know if this is agrreable to TC6. Raouf
