Dear Otto,
Nobody reads IFIP books anyway ;-)
We should focus on affordable electronic publication means, and look at
paper publication as a side-effect.
Best regards,

Call For Participation
First IEEE International Security In Storage Workshop
December 11th, 2002 -- Greenbelt, Maryland, USA
http://ieee-tfia.org/sisw2002
Co-Sponsored by
IEEE Task Force for Information Assurance
IEEE Mass Storage Systems Technical Committee
The ability to create large shared storage systems in a secure manner
has received little formal research. A comprehensive, systems approach
to storage security is required for success of storage consolidation.
This workshop serves as an open forum to discuss storage threats,
technologies, methodologies and deployment.
The proceedings will be published by IEEE and will be available in print
and online. Attendees will receive a preprint of the proceedings at the
workshop as well as the formal proceedings mailed after the workshop.

Subject: [IFIP] The GA 2002 Minutes + Lottery
Importance: High
Dear All,
The GA 2002 Minutes are ready and posted at
http://www.ifip.or.at/minutes/ga2002.htm
If you read the Minutes (and check the Impressions with new photos) you
would not only know what happened in Montreal but, you would also be able
to answer correctly our questions below and win the most prestigious title
of the Delivery Co. The Award was instituted in April 2002 and the first
winner was Reino Kurki-Suonio, Finnish GA representative to IFIP. It made
him famous - in Montreal he was appointed Chairman of the International
Program Committee for Congress 2004 in Toulouse!
It's your turn NOW!!
"Reino's Reign will Finnish" -- that's poetry ;-)) -- and one of you will
be crowned the "KING of the NET" for the next six months period.
Here are the questions:
1. With how many votes FOR was Klaus Brunnstein elected IFIP President?
2. Which two societies were admitted by GA 2002 as IFIP members?
3. In which city would IFIP hold its March 2003 Council meeting?
4. How many IFIP Honorary members attended GA 2002?
5. Which hotel was the venue of GA 2002 and the related meetings?
6. What did W. Grafendorfer present during GA to the IFIP Executive
Director on the occasion of his 20th Anniversary with IFIP?
All participants who submit correct answers by midnight 7 November GMT
would enter a lottery draw. The Winner would be announced on Friday 8
November!
Good luck,
The Delivery Co.
