Dear friends, I have received the message form Otto Spaniol concerning the review process of ICCT'2000. I fully agree in most of his comments. My only difference is that I have been luckier tha him; I have succeeded to retrive at least one paper (while I was witting this message the second one is arrived) (I continue to be lucky; the third one is arrived). I have been chariman of several programme committees and one of the hardest taks is to distribute the papers among the program committee members trying to balance the workload of each of them and respecting theis expertise domains. In this conference, belonging to the IFIP World Congress, this trask has not been done. From the review form, apparently, we should review all the papers. Otherwise the papers will cover in a random way a sample of the papers, allowing the chairman to decide the accepted papers practically just in his own opinion. And this is not fair. If this is the process, I do not play this role. Best regards to all of you, but specially to those belonging to this extrange program committee Ramon ================================================================================
