I have presented the two solutions proposed by TC6 to IEEE ComSoc. They prefer the first solution. Please let me know what are the next steps. -Raouf

Raouf, TC6 proposes the two following solutions:
1. IFIP keeps the copyright and selects LNCS as a publisher LNCS publishes in paper and in its digital library. There will be a three party agreement among IFIP, IEEE ComSoc and Springer to allow the publication also in IEEE Explorer
2. IFIP keeps the copyright IEEE will be the publisher IEEE will publish as a paper version and is published in the IEEE Explorer too IEEE pays for the royalties to IFIP as written in the new proposal by IEEE.
TC6 prefers option 2 because it is simpler, but we find a good idea to have two proposals to negotiate with IEEE. Otto Spaniol and Klaus Brunnstein will support you if required
