Dear Guy (L), dear Brigitte, dear Peter, dear TC6 delegates,

please accept my warmest congratulations for being elected as the new IFIP TC6 chairman. I will cooperate with you in every respect - and this will be facilitated by the fact that the geographical dictance between the two of us is probably the smallest one for any two TC6 delegates (with the possible exception of Copenhagen-Lund but I'm not that strong in swimming).

Transferring the responsibilities will be a smooth procedure since I intend to remain active in TC6 - and I'll be able from now on to concentrate towards initiatives which are more related to Germany.

Thanks to Brigitte and to Peter for counting the votes.

Thanks to those of you who wanted to give me a kind of consolation ("de mortuis nil nisi bene") but this is really not necessary since I will be able to contribute as much (or even more) as in my former role - without having to fulfill so many obligations which are not always liked by me or by anybody else.

I'm quite proud that TC6 is in good shape (at least financially) at the end of my chairmanship. I foresee some stormy wheather in the future (business models, digital library stillstand, royalty decreses, increased competition with IEEE,...) and I wish Guy Leduc much success in attacking and in solving these problems.

Let me end with a famous statement in Pidgin German which was given by a well-known soccer coach and which hopefully doesn't need any translation: "Ich habe fertig" (Guiseppe Trappatoni).

Best wishes Otto

Congratulations to our new TC6 president!

Congratulation to all TC6 members for the teamwork that has been done!

I also want to thank everybody for accepting me in this TC. I feel very honored with this opportunity.

From now on, I intend to collaborate the best I can, even though I live very far from places where most actions are.

Best wishes for the New Year!

Dear all,

Thank you so much for your support and confidence, and for the nice words of encouragement I received from many of you!

We may have beaten the record in the total number of votes (32) for such an election, which clearly means that TC6 members are very concerned about our future. This is very encouraging. Thanks to Peter, Brigitte and André for organizing this ballot.

The challenges ahead of us are indeed substantial and will require a strong involvement of all of us. I'm sure I can rely on you, and in particular on Otto for transferring smoothly the responsibilities and his knowledge in the coming weeks.

I also take this opportunity to congratulate you, Otto, for leading TC6 successfully and for maintaining its strong position in IFIP.

I hope we'll spend 3 lively and pleasant years together, and contribute to the required strong mutation of IFIP.

Dear Guy,

Congratulations,Guy. As you said, all academic societies in the world including IFIP is at the turning point. This difficulty is clearly caused by new technologies,on the advance of the technology, communication specialist greatly mainly contiributed. We are also responsible to create new model which can be acceptable by global society. If TC6 can work in that way, contribution will be great. Continue our discussion in that way.
