Dear Max, TC6 had its second annual meeting in Muscat, last week. There it was discussed the aims and scope of the TC12 Working Groups that you have proposed in the last TA. TC6 showed some concern for possible overlaps in the scope of WG 12.3/WG 12.4 and WG 6.7/WG 6.4. WG 12.3 will deal with agent-based applications, which is also the case of WG 6.7, concerning networking as the application in this case. In our view this is a very small overlap, at the application level, which can be solved easily. WG 12.4 deals with the semantic web. Here, the overlap with WG 6.4 might be more substantial. WG 6.4 organizes a yearly conference (WWW), which attracts many hundreds of participants, in which the semantic web is one of the topics. Again, this overlap may possibly be solved, as I think that TC12 in essentially focussing on the AI techniques applied to semantic web. However, I feel that it would be worthwhile to discuss and clarify these aspects in the next TA meeting, before approving the WG 12.4 scope as it is now. The aims and scope of the TC6 Working Groups are included in the TC6 handbook, which I sent you some weeks ago. Best regards Augusto Casaca

The TC6 Election Saga

von Andre Danthine

On June 23, I sent to all eligible people the procedure for the TC6 election. Before the end of June most of you, including Ignas and Ramon have indicated thet they do not want to stay on the list. On July 28, Otto told me that he waited to see the shirt list to make its final decision. I suggested Otto to stay on the list as the three other remaining names were very unlikely to confirm their interest. I reported the situation to Augusto who informed me that one of the three was not anymore national delegate. In the beginning of August the only name on the list was Otto Spaniol and I asked him to prepare his CV and his statement of interest for the TC6 Chairmanship position. But Otto was on holidays and did not react immediately. On Friday August 29, I received the following email from Ramon =================================================================== Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2003 21:59:50 +0200 (CEST) From: Ramon Puigjaner <putxi(a)uib.es> Subject: TC6 chairman To: Andre.Danthine(a)ulg.ac.be Cc: Augusto.Casaca(a)inesc.pt Cher Andre, A Vilnius, ou je suis maintenant du a ma participation a WITFOR 2003, j'ai parle avec Augusto Casaca et Dipak Khakhar qui m'ont demande de revenir sur ma decision de ne pas presenter ma candidature a chairman du TC6. J'ai besoin d'environ deux semaines pour pouvoir prendre une decision (parler avec le Recteur de mon universite, etc.). Des que j'ai l'aurai prise, je te le fairai savoir. Amities Ramon ==================================================================== I received the Otto contribution on September 2. The situation was very peculiar. I was ready to start the final phase of the procedure but the email of Ramon was putting the clock back to June 23 when I started the process waiting for the formal decision of confirmed candidate before being able to start the election itself. I envisaged to reject the Ramon provisional candidacy in contradiction with his initial position of June but I did not get any support from the TC6 chairman. With an additional delay of two weeks, it was still possible to get the results of the election for our meeting in Oman. Below you will find the exchange of emails ==================================================================== Date: Fri, 05 Sep 2003 14:46:36 +0200 From: Ramon Puigjaner <putxi(a)uib.es> Subject: TC6 chairman To: Andre Danthine <Andre.Danthine(a)ulg.ac.be> Cc: Augusto Casaca <Augusto.Casaca(a)inesc.pt> Cher Andre, Je suis en train de chercher les appuis monetaires et familiales pour revenir sur ma decision de ne pas me presenter a la presidence du TC6. Cependant, et pour eviter des mesentendus, ni Dipak ni Augusto ont donne, en aucun moment, leur support a mon eventuelle candidature. Ils m'ont simplement stimule, de meme que tu as fait il y six ans.

Regards Andre ==================================================================== On September 20, Augusto was anxious about getting the solution in Oman and he phoned me. I stressed that it was essential to leave at least 15 days for the vote and, at the request of Augusto, I sent a reminder to Ramon ==================================================================== Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2003 17:41:44 +0200 From: andré danthine <andre.danthine(a)ulg.ac.be> To: RamonPuigjaner <putxi(a)uib.es>, Augusto Casaca <augusto.casaca(a)inesc.pt> Subject: TC6 chairman Election Dear Ramon, The last step was already explained in my June Email "../.. each candidate will have to prepare - a short CV with an emphasis to the TC6 related activities - a statement of interest for the TC6 Chairmanship postion. Why do they want to be chairman, what activities they intend to continue, to discontinue, to create, what will change in TC6 under their leadership. - a statement about the way they see the relationship between them (as TC6 chairman) and the Council and the General Assembly.
