Ramon,
As you know, my feeling is that the WCC is indeed a "dinosaur," and
it would be a waste of your time to chair the TPC. You are already
involved in many other events and activities that are much more
important and much more relevant than WCC! Similarly, I do not think
that TC6 should spend any time or energy on WCC.

Dear friends,
All of you have received the message of Klaus Brunnstein, President of
IFIP. In this message I appear when he is talking about WCC.
You should know that he has asked me to chair the TPC of this event.
Personally I do not know if the effort of well organising such a
"dinosaur", like the last one in Toulouse, is compensated by its results
both in scientific and personal exchanges aspects. However, my personal
involvement in Latin America actions obliges me to carefully consider
the proposal.
After talking with Otto Spaniol, our chairman, my position is to accept
the proposal only if I have a strong support of TC6 both by the
organisation of some events in the next WCC and by the personal
involvement of TC6 members in the TPC. Otherwise I will be obliged to
withdraw the proposal.
As this last time the electronic discussions are one of our main duties,
I would like to know your position, before or during our next meeting in
order to give me the inputs to take the correct decision.
I wish to thank you in advance your help in clarifying my ideas.
Best regards
Ramon
