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
===================================================================

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

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.

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

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.
These information will have to be sent directly to me. I will sort all
these informations and prepare the final document which will allow each TC6
member to cast his vote for one of the candidates. ../..
Please send me without delay the short CV and the two statements.
I expect them for September 25 in order to be
able to send the final document to
TC6 members on September 28. Augusto do not want anymore delay.
Best regards
Andre

I will send it immediately. At present I am working with the computer of the La

It was impossible for me to launch the final phase during this week.
I am not anymore willing to work on this problem.
Patience is not my main resource. Today this resource is totally exhausted.

Subject: Your support is needed for WCC
Dear TC and WG leaders,
This mail concerns the "18th World Computer Congress" that will take
place in Toulouse, in August 2004: http://www.wcc2004.org
You, and all members of your working groups, should have received the
hard copy of the CfC of WCC (or you will receive it very soon).
Please let us know if you would like to receive copies to distribute
them in events you are attending these days.
A short version of the CfC, to be included in a message, is given at
the end of this message. May we ask you to distribute it as largely
as possible.
Also, please send it to all members of your working group and ask
them to advertise it on all mailing lists they are allowed to use
(other conference mailing lists, their own institution internal and
external distribution lists, other working groups they belong to,
etc.).
The success of the conference relies on the contribution of all of you.
Thank you for your help
Yours sincerely
Jean-Claude Laprie, general chair

** SINCERE APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES OF THIS CfC **

Call for contributions
18th IFIP World Computer Congress
The premier international forum on
Sciences and Technologies of Information and Communication
22-27 August 2004
Toulouse, France
http://www.wcc2004.org
*******************************************************************
The technological evolution of the sciences and technologies of
information and communication (STIC) during the last decades is far
from reaching completion. The challenges posed to the STIC community
for pursuing the evolution share a dramatic jump in complexity, be it
for the fall of elementary hardware dimensions towards nanometric
scales, for producing software of warranted quality, or for providing
the informational infrastructure with protections and with
human-machine interaction modes that enable the emerging paradigm of
Ambient Intelligence to support the Knowledge Society.
The 18th IFIP World Computer Congress will cover the above-mentioned
challenges via a rich program featuring nine co-located established
conferences, topical days or sessions, workshops, tutorials, a
student forum, an exhibition.
The topics of the co-located conferences range from theoretical
informatics to the relationship between informatics and society,
through hardware and software technologies and non-functional aspects
relating to our dependency on networked information systems:
- Theoretical Computer Science - TCS
- Information Security - SEC
- Smartcard Research and Advanced Applications - CARDIS
- Distributed and Parallel Embedded Systems - DIPES
- Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations - AIAI
- Human Error, Safety and System Development - HESSD
- Virtual Enterprises - PRO-VE
- e-Commerce, e-Business and e-Government - I3E
- History of Computing in Education - HCE
The topical days or sessions will offer synthetic and prospective
views on topics of dramatic interest for the emergence of the
Knowledge Society.
Deadlines for submission:
- Topical sessions/days, Workshops: end October 2003
- Conference papers (see the website for the various conferences),
Tutorials: January 2004
Please visit the conference web site for detailed submission
instructions and updated information on the Congress
