07 Feb '02

-----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, 6 de Fevereiro de 2002 12:07 To: all Subject: WSIS' 03 consultations To: IFIP Member Societies, GA members, TC & WG Chairs From: P. Nedkov, IFIP ED and UNESCO Liaison Officer, Subject: Consultations - World Summit for the Information Society Dear All, We have made it a point to regularly update our member societies, TCs and WGs about the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), December 2003, Geneva [ Previous messages http://www.ifip.or.at/mail/msg00098.html & http://www.ifip.or.at/mail/msg00034.html ]. The Geneva Summit is expected to adopt a Declaration embodying a set of principles and rules of conduct aimed at establishing a more inclusive and equitable Information Society; and a Plan of Action formulating operational proposals and concrete measures to be taken so that everybody benefits from the opportunities of the Information Society. Governments, UN agencies, industry and civil society are invited to contribute and to influence the debate. This February, UNESCO will organize a series of consultations. IFIP is invited to take part in one of these consultations on 8 February on the topic "Infostructure in developing countries". The other three consultations will concentrate on Cultural diversity and the public domain of information, Freedom of expression in the Information Society and Education in and for the Information Society. These meetings aim to develop a set of proposals to be included in the Declaration of Principles and the Plan of Action. These proposals will be consolidated into a common Civil society declaration forwarded to the WSIS organizers as a contribution to the WSIS preparation process. IFIP's mission is "to be the leading, truly international, apolitical organization which encourages and assists in the development, exploitation and application of Information Technology for the benefit of all people". IFIP's Member societies, TCs and WGs are representative of professional activities in the IT field at the national, regional and international levels. Therefore, WSIS and its preparations are a unique opportunity for the whole IFIP network to influence future developments and regulations related to the Information society. Yesterday afternoon, we received a draft version of a text which will be considered by the meeting on 8 February. We have posted the whole document at http://www.ifip.or.at/discus/messages/25/46.html?WednesdayFebruary620021044a m and we invite you to contribute with your comments and recommendations specifically related to the text under Cluster 1: Infostructures in developing countries. If you wish to contribute to the process you can either post your comments by adding a message on the IFIP site or alternatively by sending me an email. Best regards, Plamen ----------------------------- Plamen Nedkov Executive Director, IFIP Hofstrasse 3, A-2361 Laxenburg, Austria Tel: +43 2236 73616 Fax: +43 2236 736169 www: http://www.ifip.or.at/

FW: Congratulations & February Reward
by Augusto Casaca 06 Feb '02

06 Feb '02

-----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, 4 de Fevereiro de 2002 15:51 To: All Subject: Congratulations & February Reward Dear All - 1. New GA and TC 10 appointments We congratulate and welcome Dr. Renaldas Gudauskas as the IFIP GA representative of Lithuania. Apart of his academic positions and interests, Renaldas is a Councillor to the Prime Minister and the President of Lithuania and is our key contact for IFIP's World IT Forum in August 2003 in Vilnius. Following the recent TC 10 Chair elections Prof. Dr. Franz J. Rammig (DE) entered office as TC 10 Chair on 1 February. We wish him well in his new job. Franz holds a Chair in Informatics at "Heinz Nixdorf Institute", University of Paderborn.The area covered is "Design of distributed embedded real-time systems". He is also a member of the board of directors of "Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing (PC2)", one of Europe's leading research institutes on parallel and distributed computing, and one of two directors of "Cooperative Computing and Communication Lab (C-LAB)", a joint R&D institute of the University of Paderborn and Siemens AG. This is also an occasion to thank the outgoing TC 10 Chair, Dr. Jean-Claude Laprie (FR), and congratulate him for getting off the hook! There are, however, other projects in which he is involved as French GA representative and Chairman of the Organizing Committee of Congress 2004 and IFIP will continue to rely on his great (French?) style in doing things! Who else will pop the corks of half a dozen Moet & Chandon to treat the IFIP GA by the pool-side ...or will take you for a sight-seeing tour with a helicopter ...or will illustrate the technological advances of his city by putting you in the cockpit of an A-320 on the assembly line? Mais Oui! 2. Happy "Seventy", Blagovest! The Delivery Co. extends its congratulations and best wishes to Acad. Blagovest Sendov, IFIP President (1989-1992) and currently Vice-President of the Bulgarian Parliament, who turns seventy on Friday, 8 February 2002. Our contacts originate more than 2 decades ago. In 1982, B.S. was elected as Vice-President and Secretary General of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS). That same year, the IFIP Executive Director, P.N., was employed by BAS as specialist for international organizations. Later in 1982, B.S. was appointed as the Bulgarian IFIP GA representative. 7 years later, in 1989, B.S., who was then BAS President and had just entered office as IFIP President, appointed P.N. as IFIP Contracts Officer. The two of them were involved in many avant-garde East-West and North-South initiatives. One of these took them one day in Jan.1991 to the Kremlin, as part of a small delegation including Robert MacNamara, Father Ted Hesburgh, Susan Eisenhower, David McTaggart, John Sculley and a few others, for a strategy meeting with President Gorbatchev. Blagovest's ID is <bsendov(a)argo.bas.bg> for all who wish to drop him a line. 3. Happy Chinese New Year - May your spirit be like the dragon and the horse! We congratulate our Chinese friends and colleagues with the coming Chinese Year of the Horse. The horse plays an important role in the mythology of China. It is closely associated with the dragon. Both were said to be able to fly and to carry their riders to the "home of the immortals." The ability to fly has been associated with survival throughout all of Chinese history. Now people wish each other well during Chinese New Year and on birthdays by saying, "May your spirit be like the dragon and the horse!" or "Success will come with the arrival of the horse!" Those born in the years of the Horse have a great capacity to excel. 4. New information at http://www.ifip.or.at/mail We recently posted information about Telemedicine projects and grants for an IFIP WG 3.5 conf. in June 2002 in the IFIP Newsroom. ...and now on to your February reward below! Enjoy, The Delivery Co. ***************************************** February Joke "The Lottery Winner" ***************************************** A wife comes running home from the store and into the house screaming at the top of her lungs, "Pack, pack! I won the lottery!" The husband, all excited, runs up to her and says, "Pack? Where are we going? The islands? The mountains? Pack for where?" The wife replies, "I don't give a damn. Just pack and GET OUT!" ----------------------------- Plamen Nedkov Executive Director, IFIP Hofstrasse 3, A-2361 Laxenburg, Austria Tel: +43 2236 73616 Fax: +43 2236 736169 www: http://www.ifip.or.at/
