Dear Otto
I am to attend TC6 meeting in Santiago. I am to fly to Chille by way of Sydney Australia. It will take more than 24 hours. I am to stay, at CrownPlaza in Santiago.

Dear all,
not too many of you have reacted (+ confirmed their attendance) for the special TC6 meeting on developing countries which is going to be held August, 25, from 9 a.m. in Santiago de Chile. For your convenience I attach once again the preliminary agenda.
I took the liberty to invite also Jan Wibe from NTNU Trondheim who is chairman of TC3 and who is involved in the so-called IFIP academy or IFIP school project (see below). To my opinion, the IFIP school might be similar albeit on a larger scale to the TC6 intentions of a cooperation with UNU in developing countries. Jan will come if he is allowed to enter the building without having registered for WCC2006. [NB: I will have the same kind of problem and I even should chair a session in the aftrnoon of August 24. Let's see what happens].
As participants I count on Ana Pont Sanjuan, Dominique Gaiti, Augusto Casaca, Guy Pujolle, Ramon Puigjaner, Jose Neuman de Sousa, Jose Piquer and also some others who will be at WCC anyway according to the conference programme: For example Ahmed Al-Naamany and Harry Perros. And hopefully some others who might have been forgotten in the list. Dipak Khakhar will be in Santiago but the EB (executive board) meeting is in parallel (and this might be even more important for him). Nevertheless I would be very glad if he could attend our meeting part time when the EB meeting gets all too boring (which means that he could come to us for several hours;-) ).
Best regards Otto

Excerpt from the Council 2006 minutes:
IFIP Academy Mr Wibe and Mr Strous had done some further work on the concept of an IFIP Academy. Their conclusion was that this concept was not easy to define and even more difficult to implement. Besides that, it was felt that the concept of the IFIP School was still in its infancy and their suggestion was to focus first on the IFIP School and put effort into making this a success. Once this was established, further work could be done on the IFIP Academy. All TC Chairs were requested to send information about their existing or planned schools and about the way they deal with schools in their TCs to the TC 3 Chair. This inventory would be analysed and further discussed at the next TA. Naturally comments on the proposal and IFIP Academy were still welcome.
