Enclosed are some information requested by Otto plus some news about ACF:
- Erol Gelenbe is still interested in organizing Networking 2008 in London as he proposed one year ago. If the IFIP TC6 prefers, he also could organize Networking 2008 in Istanbul but London seems better.
 
-Here is the message from Mario Gerla:
---------------------------------------------
I am flattered by the informal invitation. I am definitely interested in the field. My main concern is the fact that I am committed to many other efforts – Italy-UCLA collaboration; NSF working groups; several conference committees. I may just not have the bandwidth...
Let me look a bit more into it

Thanks, Mario
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
- As proposed some time ago by Otto Duarte and Khaldoun Al Agha, they are ready to take the lead on a new working group on Ad Hoc networking.
- ACF (Autonomic Networking Forum) is a forum created two years ago. There are 600 members. Radu Popescu Zeletin is at the head of this consortium. One of the potential proposal that could be an output of the ACF meeting in Paris during the Autonomic Networking Conference could be to propose to become a Working Group of the IFIP. This WG focus could be on the normalization of AC interfaces and environment (this is an output of discussions held some time ago in a conference in Mykonos). So the TC6 could propose officially this solution and let the ACF continues its very strong work within the TC6  with a large freedom. This could be a strong action of the TC6.
 
I let you know as soon as I have more news.
Guy
