FW: [IFIP] IT & Sport + Lottery

-----Original Message----- From: owner-ifip_ga(a)ifip.or.at [mailto:owner-ifip_ga@ifip.or.at]On Behalf Of Plamen Nedkov Sent: segunda-feira, 3 de Junho de 2002 13:08 To: all Subject: [IFIP] IT & Sport + Lottery Dear All, We hope you had enough beer, boxer shorts and batteries for the weekend as "King Football" entered the world stage on Friday and the Football World Cup, as the most watched sports event, will keep football fans "glued" to the TV screen throughout June. In 1998, 33.4 billion viewers watched the World Cup in France [with 1 billion viewers for the final alone] and 41 billion viewers are expected to see the matches in South Korea and Japan. Why this amazing interest in sport? Carl von Clausewitz once said that War is a continuation of politics by other means and this phrase continues to dominate political and strategic parlance. Can Sport then be regarded as a "war with acceptable [peaceful] means"? There is passion, struggle, and victories .. but there is camaraderie and respect for opponents. Sport reflects practically all aspects of human activity and achievement - work, leisure, BIG money... [The fact that FIFA got the fantastic sum of US $ 828 million for this year's World Cup TV rights speaks for itself!] How does IFIP relate to Sport? In 1991, several IFIP officials met in Barcelona for dinner with members of the Organizing Committee of the '92 Olympics, we held our General Assembly '95 at the Olympics stadium in Calgary, Council '98 was hosted to a sightseeing tour and Dinner at Old Trafford, the Manchester United home-base.... and the Slovak IFIP GA representative is a world champion in team correspondence chess. We have some 80 WGs in 12 major areas of IT research, development and applications but it appears "Sport" is not identified as a special area of IFIP's interest. Is it time for IFIP to find a niche in the sport domain? - We hope you could help us find the answer by responding to the following: -------------------------------- Questionnaire -- please respond by 14 June 2002 1. Should IFIP systematically engage in IT activities related to Sport? [YES/NO] 2. If YES, would you recommend that the specific activity is carried out within one of IFIP's 12 TCs or it is initiated as a Specialist Group [following the example of TC 1 "Foundations of Computer Science" which formerly was Specialist Group 14] 3. Please identify one or two items which you feel such a body should address. 4. Is there any person currently involved in IFIP you think would be interested, knowledgeable and available to champion such an activity. 5. Would you be personally interested if this activity is endorsed? 5.a - to provide leadership 5.b - to take part as a participant Name: IFIP function: ------------------------------:<-------------------:< IF it turns that many think it is worthwhile IFIP to be involved in "IT & Sport" we would forward the matter to IFIP's Technical Assembly. And now, going back to the World Cup in Korea and Japan, here is a question to all the football fans out there: 1. Which two teams will play the World Cup Final on 30 June and who will win? All correct answers submitted by 14 June will enter a draw and there will be a special prize for the winner. Good luck, The Delivery Co. -------------------------------- Plamen Nedkov Executive Director, IFIP Hofstrasse 3, A-2361 Laxenburg, Austria Tel: +43 2236 73616 Fax: +43 2236 736169 http://www.ifip.org/

-----Original Message----- From: owner-ifip_ga(a)ifip.or.at [mailto:owner-ifip_ga@ifip.or.at]On Behalf Of Plamen Nedkov Sent: quarta-feira, 29 de Maio de 2002 12:47 To: all Subject: [IFIP] Women & ICT Dear All, ITU tells us that women have expressed overwhelming support for the importance of Information and Communication Technology (ICTs). A survey of women from all regions of the world shows striking solidarity in the belief that ICTs are critical to women for meeting their personal and professional goals, in overcoming the inequality of the 'Digital Divide' and as entrepreneurs The survey was released on World Telecommunication Day, which commemorates the founding of the International Telecommunication Union in 1865. Women make up 42% (on average) of all the Internet users globally, ranging from less than 30% in Morocco, India and Turkey to more than 50% in Canada and the United States. 99% of women surveyed in 6 geographic regions have expressed the view that access to information and communication technologies are important to women entrepreneurs. When asked if ICTs helped them meet their professional goals, 97% have agreed that they did. The information gathered from this survey will provide input for the World Summit on the Information Society. Detailed information and the complete survey is available at http://www.itu.int/newsroom/press_releases/2002/13b.html Greetings, The Delivery Co. ********************* Fun zone Apropos, two women were overheard talking "Men are simple things", said the first. "That's true", agreed her companion. "They can survive a whole weekend with only three things: beer, boxer shorts and batteries for the remote control". -------------------------------- Plamen Nedkov Executive Director, IFIP Hofstrasse 3, A-2361 Laxenburg, Austria Tel: +43 2236 73616 Fax: +43 2236 736169 http://www.ifip.org/

Dear friends, At present I can say, like the French king Louis XIV, the WG6.9 c'est moi. At present I am the only formal member. It is necessary to understand that this WG is not specialised in a precise topic like the others but is oriented to any kind of techniques oriented to the developing countries. I would like to have other people in this WG in order to be able to cover as many developing areas as possible. So I ask all of you to participate in it or to propose other people interested in proposing solution for developing countries for participating in this WG. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

by Ramon Puigjaner 27 May '02

27 May '02

Dear friends, As you know, the Latin America Networking Conference has been cancelled due to the redced number of paper submitted and to the critical economical and social situation of this country. However, as we decided in Saariselka, the tutorials (3 or 4) are maintained. Several of you have shown your interest on giving some tutorial. As the situation has changed I ask you to confirm your interest in giving a 6 hours tutorial some day between September 9 and 13 in Santa Fe (Argentina). Thank you in any case for your help. Also, we decided in Saariselka to give some help (as in the previous years) to the CLEI conference to be held in Montevideo (Uruguay) between November 25 and 29. Some of you have expressed also your interest but now it is the moment of confirming the interest. In any case thak you for your help.
