It is my intention to produce the minutes of the recent TC6 meeting in much less time than I took to produce the minutes of the last couple of meetings. However, we have an English saying: "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" and one matter needs urgent attention. Otto Spaniol is coming to the end of his current period of 3 years as TC chairmen. Even if Otto wishes to continue as chairman, under IFIP rules there has to be an election. We propose to conduct this election in a similar fashion to the last election held in 2003. Anyone who wishes to be a candidate for election as chairman will be required to submit their name and a position statement to André Danthine before the end of October 2006. This will allow is to conduct a vote in November, if a vote is necessary. André Danthine will send out further details in a few days.
