May I suggest that if we have offered $500 for previous conferences in a
series, we should continue to do so. This applies particularly to
conferences so near in time as those with which Guy is concerned.
(Of course, this assumes that we have the money!)
For new conferences we can justify using euros on the grounds that IFIP now
works in that currency.

Augusto,
So concretely, for FORTE 2001 (August) and Middleware 2001 (November),
which are conferences for which BPAs have already been given in the past,
shall I keep 500 US$ or shall I switch to 500 Euros?
Best regards,
Guy

Dear Augusto and everyone,
The IFIP TC6 Best Paper Award, which was of 500 US$, could be converted to
500 Euros. The amount remains approx. the same, and IFIP uses Euros now.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Guy

As you remember, in the last TC6 meeting held last week in Cape Town it
was agreed to increase the lona for this activity for covering the
travel of a fourth tutorialist (in addition to Dipak Khakhar, Guy
Pujolle and myself) if the CLEI organisers were ready to cover the
corresponding sojourn expenses. They have accepted.
I know that Raouf Boutaba (he was seated besides me during the meeting)
is interested in doing this activity. However, is anybody else
interested? If so, please let me know asap your interest in order to
propose the corresponding alternatives to the CLEI organisers.
Together with your interest, please send me:
- Tutorial title
- Outline or summary
- Tutorialist CV
Best regards
Ramon

I agree. But the decision should be made rather quickly, i.e. before the time when
500 USD will be equivalent to 1.000 EURO.
Best regards
