Dear Lyman and Guy,
May I suggest an intermediate process in this step?
I went to the referred web site and I found that the information required is definitely useful to gather for our conferences too (acceptance rate, number of participants, etc). However, it would be useful to collect this information internally and analyse it in our October meeting in Zurich before shiping it.
For this purpose I would ask that all the WG chairmen collect the data (number of submissions, number of accepted papers, accepted percentage, number of tracks and number of attendees) for their conferences in the past years and send them to our TC6 list asap. I will collect it and insert in our meeting documents for Zurich.
This procedure only introduces a couple of months delay in the process and allows us to discuss a few points that might be sensitive.
Best regards
Augusto Casaca

Dipak,
I strongly agree with Guy's recommendation, and with his reply to you
- Kevin is very highly regarded, and people will pay attention to his
collection of statistics. If they don't see IFIP's conferences there, it will just add to the impression that IFIP doesn't exist. I understand your concern that Kevin's statistics collection could be organized in such a way that IFIP's conferences "look bad" compared to others, but we cannot hide from this.
- Lyman

Guy, Be careful. This could be competitive disadvantage as well. With best regards Dipak

Dear all,
A web page with a list of networking conferences, and statistics thereof, is being established and maintained by Kevin Almeroth. See email below.
May I advise every TC6/WG chairman to collect statistics about his WG conferences and send the information to Kevin.
IFIP conferences should appear in this list too ...
All the best, Guy
