Dear Ramon,
I don't know these affiliates and did not receive any description. Probably Google knows better :-)
My answer is simple: if we don't even know them, why would we argue in favour of keeping them?
So, if I don't hear anything from any of you, I will just report that TC6 doesn't care, and that IFIP can get rid of them.
Best regards, Guy

Dear TC Chairs The following are classified as 'Technical Affiliates' of IFIP : FACE, IAPR, IASC, IJCAII, INFORMS, VLDB (see page 22/23 of the newest Information Bulletin) As decided at Council, if no TC specifically requests that a specific Tech Aff must be 'retained', their affiliation will automatically expire at GA in August. Therefore, if your TC wants to have any of these Tec Aff to remain on this list, please contact the relevant Affiliate and ensure that they are willing to stay on. If any positive reaction is received, please inform Eduard - latest end July 2007. Those Affiliates which are not specifically requested to stay on, will then automatically lose their affiliation at GA. Regards Basie *Professor S.H.
