Dear all,
I couldn't attend the IFIP council meeting due to other commitments
but Ramon Puigjaner was there.
Please find below his email which points to an important topic which was
treated at the council.
We will have to position ourselves with respect to a participation
at the World Computer Congress which is planned to be held
in Jerusalem in 2006 (or maybe in Eilat; there have also been some
other "ideas" to relocate it to Geneva under guidance of Israel but for the
moment being the intended venue is still Jerusalem).
I would like to have your position concerning a possible TC6 participation
(in the last decade - at least - we were never particularly active
at WCC's since we considered them more or less as dinosaurs with
limited interest).
Please tell me **before the end of March** what you think about this
particular case, namely Jerusalem 2006.
Please understand that - being a citizen of Germany - I will not
give some indication about whether to put the case in one or the
other direction. I will only communicate the result of your
contributions to Moshe Gotlieb and of course to you.
Best regards
Otto

Mesage from Ramon Puigjaner
>The meeting of the IFIP Council was boring,as usual.
>I will send you the stuff distributed in Cape Town. However, there is a
>point that requires urgent treatement:
>- In the TA all the TC gave there intention of participating in some way
>at the WCC 2006 to be held in Jerusalem; I gave the traditional position
>of TC6, that is quite reluctant to participate even though some this
>year WG6.11 is participating in one of the parallel sessions. The
>conclusion was that all the TCs should send to Moshe Gotlieb before mid
>April their position concerning the particpation with some colocated
>conference in WCC 2006.
>I suggest that you send a message to all the TC6 members and organise an
>email discussion.
>In few days I will send you a more detailed report concerning the
>positions I defended in Cape Town.
