Outstanding Service Aards
by Otto Spaniol 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Dear all, there is a request for the nomination of people who should get an OSA (outstanding service award); see below. Proposals for such nominations are welcome. Best regards Otto ------------------------------------------------------------- Dear TC Chairs, This award was created in 1987 by the IFIP General Assembly. As you can see in the rules (Standing Orders 6.2) the prime responsibility for nominations lies with TC Chairmen. On behalf of the chairman of the Internal Awards Committee Roger Johnson I invite you to nominate members of your TC or its Working Groups whose contribution to IFIP you wish to recognize and who you deem eligible to receive the OSA. Please send me details of your nominee(s) prior to our GA meeting in Gaborone including information about how they satisfy the selection criteria. You will see that the annual number of awards is limited to twenty. In the unlikely event that the total number of submissions exceeds that number it is the responsibility of the IAC to rank them in priority sequence using the information you provide and hence select the award winners. The list will be reviewed by the Internal Awards Committee Chair with you immediately before the GA for any final adjustments and then submitted to the GA for formal approval. The OSA certificates will be signed by the President and yourself and subsequently presented to the winners in the way you deem to be most appropriate. A list of OSA Award holders is available at http://www.ifip.or.at/bulletin/b_osa.htm Best regards Eduard Dundler

[Fwd: consierations about your resign]
by Ramon Puigjaner 27 May '05

27 May '05

Dear friens, Following the commitment agreed in the last meeting, please find attached the message I have snd to Harry Perros. Best regards Ramon -------- Original Message -------- Subject: consierations about your resign Date: Fri, 27 May 2005 12:57:01 +0200 From: Ramon Puigjaner <putxi(a)uib.es> To: Harry Perros <hp(a)csc.ncsu.edu> Dear Harry, I am writing to you as Vice-Chairman and on behalf of the IFIP TC6. In the last meeting held three weeks ago in Toronto, your message of resignation as chairman of WG6.10 was discussed. The general feeling of the TC6 members was to ask you to reconsider your decision and that you continue chairing WG6.10. Your efforts to organize and promote WG6.10 were recognized and it was understood that a good deal of the problems that lead to your decision to resign, were problems concerning most WGs. During the meeting the publication policy that the TC6 should apply on the coming events (see attached) was discussed extensively. I think that this touches on issues that bothered you and TC6 is decided to address them and that this publication policy should provide you an answer to several of your complaints. I hope that you will continue to work with us and to push ahead the research in the networking area. Best regards Ramon ========================================================================= Ramon Puigjaner Universitat de les Illes Balears Departament de Ciencies Matematiques i Informatica 07122 PALMA (Spain) Phone: +34-971173288 Fax: +34-971173003 e-mail: putxi(a)uib.es ========================================================================= -- ========================================================================= Ramon Puigjaner Universitat de les Illes Balears Departament de Ciencies Matematiques i Informatica 07122 PALMA (Spain) Phone: +34-971173288 Fax: +34-971173003 e-mail: putxi(a)uib.es =========================================================================
