The appointment of an IFIP Working Group Chairman is formally made by the Technical Committee. It is a pleasure to announce that TC6 ratified the nomination of Raouf Boutaba as the new chairman of WG 6.6, the former chairman's, Wolfgang Zimmer's maximum time-in-office, having expired under IFIP rules.
This ratification took place after a search made by a committee of three (Wolfgang Zimmer, Augusto Casaca and Harry Rudin) and a polling of the members of WG 6.6.
We congratulate Raouf, thank to the WG 6.6 members for their active support, and wish WG 6.6 continued success.
With best regards Augusto Casaca, Wolfgang Zimmer, Harry Rudin
