The TC6 Election Saga
by Andre Danthine 11 Oct '03

11 Oct '03

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 =================================================================== Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2003 21:59:50 +0200 (CEST) From: Ramon Puigjaner <putxi(a)uib.es> Subject: TC6 chairman To: Andre.Danthine(a)ulg.ac.be Cc: Augusto.Casaca(a)inesc.pt 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 ==================================================================== Date: Fri, 05 Sep 2003 14:46:36 +0200 From: Ramon Puigjaner <putxi(a)uib.es> Subject: TC6 chairman To: Andre Danthine <Andre.Danthine(a)ulg.ac.be> Cc: Augusto Casaca <Augusto.Casaca(a)inesc.pt> 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. Amities Ramon ==================================================================== Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 05:53:37 +0200 (CEST) From: Ramon Puigjaner <putxi(a)uib.es> Subject: Candature au TC6 To: Andre.Danthine(a)ulg.ac.be Cc: Augusto.Casaca(a)inesc.pt Andre, Finalement j'ai reussi a avoir le support de mon universite et de ma famille et maintenant je suis en mesure de poser ma candidature a Chairman du TC6.

Regards Andre ==================================================================== 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 ==================================================================== Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2003 17:41:44 +0200 From: andré danthine <andre.danthine(a)ulg.ac.be> To: RamonPuigjaner <putxi(a)uib.es>, Augusto Casaca <augusto.casaca(a)inesc.pt> Subject: TC6 chairman Election 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.

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 Karama Kanoun, publicity 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 (http://www.wcc2004.org).
