Bylaw Changes

08 Jul '04

Dear Mr. Dundler: As directed by Prof. Basie von Solms, I am herewith sending the following attachment to be distributed to TC Chairs before they leave for Toulouse.... _________________________________ Dear Basie & TC Chairs: I have been thinking about suggesting a change in bylaws to accomplish the following: Any TC can establish SIG's Special Interest Groups, which would be treated like Working Groups, but must convert either to a WG or disband after 5 years. Any TC or Working Group can establish a Task Force with a specific study mission, limited life span and be disbanded. The Specialist Group can have Working Groups, but must convert either to a TC or be dissolved. I've had some feedback from Leon Strous and we generated the following schematic (see attachment 1). Attachment 1 : Second, I generated (not being a Parliamentarian) suggestions to changes in the bylaws (see attachment 2) Attachment 2 : Thirdly, I received suggestions relating to the bylaw changes from Leon Strous (see his comments & bylaw changes below) Dear Gus, in the meantime I took a closer look at the proposed changes to the Statutes & Bylaws. I have made some additional changes, also in the order of the articles to make it a more logical sequence. In order not to confuse a lot of red coloured changes, I have used only red for a part that needs additional text / work. The most notable changes concern the membership of a SG, this cannot be exactly the same as for a TC, especially not at the start of it. Let me know what you think of my proposal. A suggestion which relates to your powerpoint figure is the name of a working group of an SG. I would just call this a working group and not a Special Working Group. kind regards, Leon Attachment 3 : Gustav ITN/PD Visit the CAx R&T website at: http://roadmap/d2710

Budget proposal for 2005
by Otto Spaniol 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

Dear all, you will remember from the discussions in Athens and/or from the minutes that we have to use at least 20 percent of the TC6 fund per year (which is above a threshold value of 15.000 EURO) or the non used part will be capped and put into the global budget of IFIP. Expenditures of this kind are for student travel, best paper awards, tutorial speaker's cost etc, *not* for operational expenses. According to the allocations of the past + some new requests (which sometimes came quite unexpectedly and which will have to be approved at our meeting 2004/2 in Bangkok!) I have submitted a request for 22.500 EURO (+5.000 EURO for operational expenses). This is well above our minimum of 13.000 EURO and it is questionable whether TC6 can continue to spend so much money every year. Please find below a list of requests together with some explanations. Best regards Otto ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Event funded requests of TC6 for 2005: IFIP TC6 requests a budget of 27.500 EURO for 2005. This is split up into (see below): - student travel grants 12.500 EURO - best paper awards 6.000 EURO - tutorial speakers cost 4.000 EURO - operational expenses 5.000 EURO The fund balance of TC6 was roughly 80.000 EURO, i.e. 65.000 EURO above the threshold of 15.000 EURO. We have to use at least 20 percent of that fund, i.e. 13.000 EURO, for nonoperational expenses. The planned expenditure of 27.500 - 5.000 = 22.500 EURO is well above the lower limit of 13.000 EURO. ---------------------------------------- Use of the budget: Student travel grants Best paper awards (750 EURO each) (500 EURO each) WG 6.1: Middleware: 2 (= 1.500 EURO) 1 (= 500 EURO) FORTE 1 (= 750 EURO) 1 (= 500 EURO) TESTCOM 1 (= 750 EURO) 1 (= 500 EURO) WG 6.2: Networking 2 (= 1.500 EURO) 1 (= 500 EURO) MWCN 1 (= 500 EURO) WG 6.4: WWW 3 (= 2.250 EURO) 1 (= 500 EURO) WG 6.6: IM 2005 2 (= 1.500 EURO) 1 (= 500 EURO) NOMS 2 (= 1.500 EURO) 1 (= 500 EURO) MMNS 1 (= 500 EURO) DSOM 1 (= 500 EURO) WG 6.8: PWC 2 (= 1.500 EURO) 1 (= 500 EURO) WG 6.10: ONDM 2 (= 1.500 EURO) 1 (= 500 EURO) Subtotal: 12.750 EURO 6.000 EURO WG 6.9: Request of 4.000 EURO for tutorialists travel to LANC 2005 in Cali (Colombia) Operational Expenses: 5.000 EURO Total (Event funded expenses + tutorial speaker cost + Operational expenses) 27.750 EURO This is higher than the budget planned for 2004 (which was 25.000 EURO). The reasons: - NOMS was forgotten but got the funds promise in 2004. - WWW got a higher promise than indicated in the meeting minutes of meeting 2003/2 (3 student travels instead as 2) - ONDM came recently ?in a fully unexpected way" with a request of 2 student grants + 1 PBA. On the other hand some conferences of 2004 will not be hold in 2005 (INTELLCOMM,...) and thus student travels + tutorial speakers cost were not claimed for 2005. However, we cannot exclude that some additional requests are still to come. In the future it will have to be discussed whether we can afford such a high amount of cost; especially the student travel cost might be reduced. To my opinion, a conference should return to TC6 at least the cost which it claims from TC6 for support. A positive example of that was NOMS'94 which got 2.000 EURO (see above) but which returned 6.300 EURO to IFIP. The allocation is preliminary! In Bangkok we will have to decide whether we accept the new request from ONDM, the increased claim for WWW etc.
