Dear all,
please find enclosed a budget planning and a financial estimate for IFIP TC6 in 2007. These numbers had to be given to IFIP before July 7 in order to include them in the general financial planning which will be discussed at IFIP General Assembly in Santiago de Chile.
With respect to event proceeds and royalties I'm rather pessimistic: More and more event are co-organised by IFIP (in such cases IEEE becomes the main sponsor very often) and royalties from sold books will disappear very soon.
The TC6 funded expenses (best paper awards, student travel grants, tutorials in developing countries) are very similar to the respective cost in recent years. You will see that we will end up in a deficit if all conferences really ask for their BPA's etc.
Please check the calculation and inform me if some items have been forgotten or if some entries might be cancelled.
The budget will have to be discussed and hopefully approved at our next meeting in Paris (Sept. 29+30, 2006).
Best regards Otto
Dear Otto,
Could you clarify the formula
The "fund to be used in year n" is (("Fund balance" in year n-1) minus 15.000) * 20%
For 2006, this formula gives 16270 EUR, but the budget for "TC-6 activity expenses" in 2006 is only 15250 EUR.
If the "Fund to be used in year n" only covers these "TC-6 activity expenses" (and not the "TC-6 operating expenses" for example), then we will not use enough fund in 2006.
Also, in your Excel sheet, D19 is wrong, it should be = (D6+D10-D13-D15-D17).
Best regards, Guy

Dear Guy (and others),
Could you clarify the formula
The "fund to be used in year n" is (("Fund balance" in year n-1) minus 15.000) * 20%
For 2006, this formula gives 16270 EUR, but the budget for "TC-6 activity expenses" in 2006 is only 15250 EUR.
Sorry: I missed 3.000 EURO for WG 6.9 support in Santiago (see annex). We planned 11.250 + 4000 + 3000 = 18.250 EURO and (in addition to that) 5000 EURO for operational expenses (upper bound). Has been corrected in the sheet which is attached.
If the "Fund to be used in year n" only covers these "TC-6 activity expenses" (and not the "TC-6 operating expenses" for example), then we will not use enough fund in 2006.
The fund to be used is indeed not meant for operational expenses.
Also, in your Excel sheet, D19 is wrong, it should be = (D6+D10-D13-D15-D17).
Thanks a lot. Has been corrected.
Finally, I attach the global budget situation of IFIP.
For TC6 it shows that - In 2005 TC6 had to use 14.206,43 EURO but used only 12.085,36 thus 2.121,07 were unused (and are maybe lost). Thus we should urge all organisors that they do their requests in due time. - We will have to use 18.042,45 EURO in 2006 (see attached sheet). This is still in accordance with the 18.250 EURO we asked for (see above). But we must check that this money will indeed be used.
Thanks very much to Guy Leduc for giving this important hint concerning our budget.
Best regards Otto
