Project: THE DAY OF THE PRESIDENT - Interview with Prof. Ashley Goldsworthy
ASHLEY GOLDSWORTHY is the 8th IFIP President [1986-1989]. He is a Scorpio and this fact speaks a million words. His interview is the 6th published so far and presents an Insider's reflections on IFIP.
All previously interviewed Presidents [Messrs. Speiser, Sendov, Zemanek, Bobillier and Rolstadas] appear to have continued the path of very successful academic, business and political careers. Ashley's interview strikes with how successful he is now on the business front.
Mr. Goldsworthy's responses address some intimate matters related to IFIP's operations, including
* The IFIP Engine room * Does IFIP need more Talking Committees as opposed to Technical Committees? * What is IFIP's vexing problem? * Would further IFIP specialization create a technical isolation and what can be done to overcome this?
