As far as I understand, both proposals are identical in the sense that the
scopes of the 2 WGs would end up to be defined in the same way.
The only issue is to know which numbers we assign them.
This is an "irrelevant detail" to me.
Keeping the existing WG6.2 and WG6.4 (while changing their scopes) requires
to restructure the memberships anyway. This is like disbanding them and
recreating them from scratch. Now WG6.4 would not deal with the IP layer at
all any more, but only with layers over IP, and even over TCP/UDP if I
understand well.
All "lower layer experts" have to move to WG6.2 then.
And conferences like HPN and PfHSN would move to WG6.2 too.
WG6.4 would be an empty WG where everything would have to be created.
I don't see much difference with creating a new WG from scratch.
Do you?
Best regards,
Guy

re.: restructuring of TC6 working groups
Dear all,
as far as I see there are mainly two "competing" proposals:
A. merge 6.2/6.4 and establish a separate WG on Internet issues
B. refresh aims and scopes of WG 6.4 (to include parts of the actual WG 6.4)
and
modify 6.4 aims and scopes in a way that they include most or all of
the internet related questions (which were proposed by Arun Iyengar
and - earlier - by Guy Pujolle).
I understand that Augusto is now in favour of alternative B.
To my opinion, this would be indeed the preferable solution.
The question concerning TG 6.11 on Electronic Commerce would have to
be treated by both alternatives. It appears to be obvious that TC6 cannot
claim to have exclusive rights in this vast area. Thus we will have
to limit ourselves towards communication systems (i.e. internet related)
aspects of Electronic Commerce.
This means to me that "Electronic Commerce in TC6" are roughly speaking
"Internet related questions of Electronic Commerce". Thus, if we establish
a working group on Internet (which is a good idea and which is part of
either alternative A and B) then Electronic Commerce would be a major
part of that group.
Hence TG 6.11 might be disbanded and become a part of the internet related
working group.
(Whereas disbanding an activity is a serious step it might be reasonable
in this case - and it is in some sense supported by the observation that
it appears to be not easy or even impossible for TC6 to establish new
events in that area).
Best regards
Otto
Dear TC6 members,
Please find attached an upudate of the TC6 calendar.
I would thank that the WG chairmen who do not find an IFIP Event

Hello Augusto,
you forwarded the following message concerning NOMS in Honolulu, US:
*******
Register now for NOMS 2000 and join your colleagues in Honolulu, Hawaii
from 10-14 April 2000 for the 2000 IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and
Management Symposium.
*******
Did NOMS ever pay the sponsorship fee for IFIP (or at least half of the
fee if we would have to share it with IEEE)?
They should do so because the event is a "symposium", i.e. a large one.
Best regards
Otto
