Dear TC6 members and especially Volker,
I have received the following message from Prof. Camarinha de Matos from
TC5. I would like to know your comments, if any, to his proposal. I ask
especially Volker to analyse how this proposal can co-exist with WG 6.11.
My objective is to know what is TC6 position regarding this proposal when it
is discussed in the next Technical Assembly.
In a separate mail I will send you the aims and scope of the proposed new
WG.
Please let me have your comments until July 5th.
Best regards

Subject: IFIP - On new WG
Importance: High
Dear colleague,
As you know, there was recently an initiative inside TC to create a new
Working Group
WG 5.5 COOPERATION INFRASTRUCTURE FOR VIRTUAL ENTERPRISES AND ELECTRONIC
BUSINESS - "COVE".
TC5 Chairman (Gus Olling) asked me to contact you as it seems you had some
questions regarding potential overlapping of the Aims & Scope of this WG
and other WGs.
As you know, Virtual Enterprises / Virtual Organizations is a truly
multi-disciplinary area that requires contributions from many disciplines.
The only way real progress in this -- as well as in many other areas -- can
be achieved is through the involvement of people with different backgrounds.
During the "launching phase" I was successful in getting the involvement
and commitment of a good number of well-known experts in the area of VE/VO
from many geographical regions (Europe, USA, Canada, Latin America, Asia).
These people have been involved in several important international projects
on Virtual Enterprises.
When trying to define the Aims & Scope we tried, naturally, to cover in a
consistent way the most important topics required for the area.
I understand that this set of topics might involve a number of issues that
are also topics of interest of others TCs and WGs. In my opinion this might
be a very positive factor as it can create the opportunity for an
increasing cooperation among TCs within IFIP.
In the past of IFIP -- again in my opinion -- there hasn't been much
cooperation even within the same TC. Given the current dynamics and trends
of the scientific development, I think that we should not have closed
groups but perhaps allowing some overlapping may be one of the driving
forces to increase the dynamic cooperation among the various groups.
I would very much appreciate if you could spend some minutes on this issue
and let me know your opinion about the subject.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
With best regards,

Subject: [IFIP] T(w)o Days ... Reflections
Dear All,
Our Spring Campaign was announced on 25 March and there are only 30 hours
left to summer. Tomorrow, at 15:24 CET summer comes to the Northern
Hemisphere. 15:24 will bring an end to our countdown and the Delivery Co.
will close down for a rejuvenating 2 week vacation until 8 July :-)
We hope Our Spring campaign will leave positive impressions. Here are some
measurements to reflect on;
Quantitatively,
- Over 35 Circular messages were sent to the IFIP community, not counting
our other circulars to GA, members societies and specialized bodies
- Some 15 IFIP new books were publicized; two e-books were produced by the
Delivery Co.
- The IFIP Event Calendar includes 75 registered conferences for 2002 and
more are coming in
- The IFIP Portal for on line publications was developed and introduced
- 2 new applications for IFIP membership were submitted and CLEI publicized
its intentions for regional full membership.
Qualitatively,
- Our member societies and volunteers have reacted positively to the
usefulness of the provided information, services and support
- IFIP's reputation as a leading international IT organization has opened
possibilities for new partnerships
- Many of our members are proud of IFIP [i.e. Bulgaria and Hungary count
on IFIP for the 2003 Neumann and Atanasoff centenary celebrations]
- UNESCO confirmed IFIP as "an essential partner" whose cooperation is
"vigorous and highly appreciated"
- The IT-STAR initiative continues successfully with more members on board
- a focused program and an effective Congress 2002 publicity campaign
stretch well beyond IFIPland
We also have other important matters to reflect on, the main one being YOU
OUT THERE, the IFIP community. You are GREAT! We should add tolerant,
generous, considerate, .... There is no IFIP and no Delivery Co. without
you! Thank you for all your support, friendship and encouragement. Our
Spring campaign and its final countdown is an expression of our
appreciation!
We will say our good summer wishes tomorrow but let us assure you now that
with the Spring campaign we have not exhausted our arsenal of ideas and
great products. We still have several up our sleeves which you will hear
about in July.
The Delivery Co.
@15:24 tomorrow winter will begin in the Southern Hemisphere. It's 37 C
here and we envy our colleagues in Argentina, Australia and South Africa
where it must be refreshingly cool.

Subject: [IFIP] Four Days... Nine IFIP Seasons - Le Must
Dear All,
We get one day closer to summer with the "The Day of the President - The
Full Story"
The idea for this project was first endorsed by the nine Presidents as
follows:
"I find your idea excellent, and certainly I will participate" Ambros
Speiser
"The idea definitely is a good one" Heinz Zemanek
"You have my cooperation, support and good wishes" Richard Tanaka
"Very good idea... Give me a few days" Pierre Bobillier
"I am happy to participate" Ashley Goldsworthy
"I am ready ... Set the deadline" Blagovest Sendov
"I can also confirm my participation" Asbjorn Rolstadas
"Let us see what the old fighters think about their past and the future of
IFIP" Kurt Bauknecht
"But of course you can rely on me. I will deliver" Peter Bollerslev
The individual interviews were published as they came and were welcomed by
the IFIP community as powerful messages from IFIP leaders.
We are now pleased to announce the complete 22 page publication of the "The
Day of the President - The Full Story" at
http://www.ifip.or.at/secretariat/pres_comb.pdf The interviews are
rearranged chronologically with an introduction, announcements, tributes
and photos for a concise account of 42 years of developments and trends
witnessed by the nine living Presidents.
This publication is Le Must.

Subject: [IFIP] Information Release: WSIS - A Digital Opportunity
Information Release
[Information poverty is a reality for much of the world. 83 countries still
have a teledensity below 10 lines for every 100 inhabitants; 25 countries
still have a teledensity below one per cent. The situation is worse for
Internet access. Some 61 countries have less than one percent Internet use.
The services are often prohibitive to use due to high prices. "A call from
the United States to Switzerland costs less than five US cents a minute,
whereas a call to many parts of Africa costs over one US Dollar per minute,
or twenty times more. If the price came down, African citizens would better
be able to join the international community".]
This is part of an ITU Press release entitled "World Leaders must shape
the direction of the 'Information Society'" and available at
http://www.itu.int/newsroom/press_releases/2002/15.html It reports on the
speech of the ITU Secretary General at the UN General Assembly in New York
and outlines the objectives of The World Summit on the Information Society
(WSIS) whose first phase will be in Geneva in December 2003 and the second
phase in Tunis in 2005. WSIS will be the outcome of a wide variety of
inputs, Action Plans and Preparatory Committees. PrepCom1 is scheduled for
1-5 July 2002 in Geneva.
The International Council for Science (ICSU -- http://www.icsu.org ) and
IFIP agreed this week to join efforts for a Science and Technology session
as part of PrepCom1 on 2 July which will address the Science & Technology
contributions for the Information Society including public domain and
digital divide issues. Dr. Chrisanthi Avgerou, IFIP TC 9 Vice Chair and WG
9.4 Chair, is scheduled to speak on the Social implications of information
technologies in developing countries.
Another IFIP contribution for WSIS would be a Joint UNESCO-IFIP
Declaration on Youth to be presented for endorsement at the 17th IFIP World
Computer Congress in Montreal -- http://www.wcc2002.org
