Subject: [IFIP TC-6] Thanx, assignment and Happy New Year 2004
Importance: High
Dear Augusto, after 6 very successful years, the end of your term as
TC-6 chair has arrived. It is my privilege and honour to thank you
indeed
very much for the work and devotion with which you have mastered this
office.
I gladly remember the spirit of TC-6 which I experienced during your
anniversary meeting 2002 in Lisboa, Protugal. With so many gifted
and self-conscious members both in TC-6 and its working groups, it is
not always easy to find the best solution for upcoming problems but
you have succeeded to run TC-6 on a sustained level of activity and
intellectual capacity. Indeed, it is essentially due to your careful
and determined chairmanship that TC-6 is so highly respected in the
Informatics community and is regarded as one - if not the - most active
TC in IFIP.
Thanx also for the constructive advice with which you have contributed
to essential developments in Technical and General Assemblies. I
sincerely
hope that you continue in TC-6 as Protuguese representative and thus
make your advice available to your successor. I also hope that you
will be willing to lend your advice to IFIP EB on issues such as the
new publication contract.
Dear Otto, welcome as new TC-6 chair. After electronic election by TC-6,
I have the privilege to formally assign you as new TC-6 chair starting
January 1, 2004 for a 3-year period. Based on your own experience as
past TC chair, you are aware that this is a sometimes difficult but
hopefully often rewarding office. I wish you all success in assuring
that
TC-6 continues to operate in the spirit which was so successfully
developped and maintained by Augusto.
To both of you, and to all members of TC-6 and its Working Groups,
I wish a successful, healthy and happy Year 2004. And I hope to meet
many of you in Toulouse, site of IFIP World Computer Congress 2004.
Best wishes: Klaus (December 31, 2003)
PS: please forward this message to TC-6 lists. Thanx.
Dear TC6 members,
I attach the report concerning my chairmanship period from 1998 to 2003. The status of the Committee on the most relevant items is described there. I attach also some updated documents, which I usually transmit to you during our meetings. All other details and documents will be sent directly to Otto.
I pass the flag to Otto and my wishes for a Happy 2004.
Best regards
Augusto Casaca
Happy New Year to all.
At Oman we still wish we can get some of your snow which we seen in the news
and weather channels!! But I guess only for an hour!!
Regards
Ahmed Al Naamany
