Dear all,
Samir Tohme (the French delegate to TC6) has informed me that he wants to resign due to his health problems which make longer trips difficult or impossible for him. (See below). This decision is very regrettable but what can we do?
Jean-Claude Laprie (the French representative in IFIP GA) has nominated Guy PUJOLLE (chairman of WG 6.2) as his successor. Guy has already accepted the nomination.
Welcome Guy in your new function! We look very much forward towards further good cooperation. Do you have any ideas already who could take over the chairmanship of WG 6.2.? (Since your term would have come near to its end anyway).
And for you, Samir: We deeply regret that you cannot be any longer the French delegate to TC6. My suggestion is that you attend if possible our next meeting in Paris (September 29+30 in Paris) in order to make an official and nice farewell. We promise to make a particuler event for you at this occasion. Thank you very much for your contributions in the last 15 years. We'll stay in contact!
Best regards Otto

Message received from Samir Tohme (if necessary, we can translate it to Englsih language):
Cher Otto
Je viens d'envoyer un email a Guy en te mettant en copie pour lui annoncer que je souhaite le retirer de la representation aupres du TC6. C'est avec un grand regret que je le fais apres 15 annees de presence passees avec vous. Comme je l'ai dit a Guy, ce n'est pas par manque de motivation que je le fais mais c'est pour menager ma sante car depuis mon operation je tente de limiter les longs voyages. Amities
Samir
