May I suggest that if we have offered $500 for previous conferences in a series, we should continue to do so. This applies particularly to conferences so near in time as those with which Guy is concerned. (Of course, this assumes that we have the money!)
For new conferences we can justify using euros on the grounds that IFIP now works in that currency. Peter

Augusto,
So concretely, for FORTE 2001 (August) and Middleware 2001 (November), which are conferences for which BPAs have already been given in the past, shall I keep 500 US$ or shall I switch to 500 Euros?
Best regards, Guy

Dear Guy,
I support your idea of having a unique currency for our expenses, which
should
be euro, because IFIP adopted that currency.
Concerning the exact value to be attributed to BPA and also the amount to
be
spent in other items, like student travel grants, I propose to discuss it
in
our next meeting. In the Cape Town meeting we defined already the budget
for
2002, which will be shown in the meeting minutes. In Zurich, we should link that budget to specific values in the BPA and student travel grants for
2002.
For 2001, we will continue to analyse the different cases individually, but
it
seems adequate that, at least for the conferences that have the BPA for the first time we only allocate 500 Euro. In view of the finances status, I am
in
favour of having some contention in our expenses, and it seems that the
euro
will still be a bit lower than the dollar for some time!
Best regards
Augusto

Dear Augusto and everyone,
The IFIP TC6 Best Paper Award, which was of 500 US$, could be converted
to
500 Euros. The amount remains approx. the same, and IFIP uses Euros now.
What do you think?
Best regards, Guy
