Dear Demetres,
During the IFIP TC6 meeting, which had place in Budapest on May 18th and 19th, your request for IFIP TC6 sponsorship of the HET-NET'03 Conference in Ilkley was discussed.
TC6 was concerned that despite my mail of last February 21st, requesting you not to make reference to IFIP in the conference announcements, you have circulated a call for papers indicating that the conference was supported by one of the IFIP TC6 Working Groups.
The Committee decided that it is not in the IFIP TC6 interest to sponsor HET-NET'03. This is a final decision, which, of course, applies to all the TC6 Working Groups. Therefore, I request you to immediately delete all references to IFIP sponsorship in the HET-NET'03 announcements, both in electronic and paper form.
Best regards
Augusto Casaca
(IFIP TC6 chairman)
