Dear TC6 colleagues,
I'd like to inform you of the following financial procedure.
When the organizer of an IFIP TC6 event does not pay the IFIP fee as planned in the IFIP Event Request Form, IFIP will deduct 25% of the amount from the TC6 funds (Because the fee goes normally with 75% to the TC6 funds and with 25% to IFIP General fund).
In other words, TC6 does not get the usual 75% and has to pay the 25% to IFIP, which means that TC6 and only TC6 loses money (100% of the fee in fact).
This procedure has been decided at EB meeting Dec10th 2005 and TC Chairs have been informed at TA meeting at Council 2006 in Mallorca. It seems that this message was not conveyed to TC6 at that time, but this is now repaired.
This rule is already applied to one of our events, namely I3E2006.
So be careful, especially the WG chairs and the steering committees.
Best regards, Guy
