Dear all,
as agreed upon in Coimbra I have made the following actions:
- inviting Pedro Cuenca (Spain) + Jozef Woniak (Poland) to submit proposals for 6.8 and to present the ideas at the occasion of the next meeting in Paris
- inviting Josep Sole Pareta (Spain) + Ioannis Tomkos (Poland) to submit proposals for 6.10 and to present the ideas at the occasion of the next meeting in Paris.
Thanks a lot to Ramon Puigjaner and to Jan Slavik who established the first contacts. Josep and Ioannis have already agreed to come to Paris.
For 6.8 we had a suggestion for a third candidate (Mario Gerla or somebody else from the US scene); Guy Pujolle promised to establsih a contact. No response received yet.
Guy Pujolle has started the nomination phase for a new chairman of 6.2 (as you knw, Guy has become the TC6 delegate of France as successor of Samir Tohme).
Another topic is Networking 2008 (as you know, Networking 2007 will be held in Atlanta). We had initially suggested to have Networking 2008 in London. In the last meeting, however, it was decided to leave that decision open. Condidates should be invited to present their concepts in September in Paris.
Guy Pujolle promised to ask Erol Gelenbe (London) about that. No response received thus far. I took the responsibility to contact Francis Lee (Singapore) who had submitted a bid for 2007 not knowing that the decision for Atlanta was already made long ago. Thus I wrote a message to Francis Lee. He reacted prompty saying that he is still very interested but that he has to discuss that in more detail with the organisation committee.
Best regards Otto
