Dear all,
here is a message from Finn Arve Aagesen who (unfortunately) could not attend our meeting in Wroclaw. His contributions seem to be important for me (even if they are many questions and only two answers).
Best regards Otto
I agree on that we are going straight to the wall. However, IFIP is still a brand and there are many PhD students that need accepted papers on their way to a degree. So there is still obvious hope as long as ....
So my question is you have listed subproblems, like:
- How to make scientists feel associated with IFIP?
- How to create working groups that works?
- How to find qualified wg chairs (and what is the qualification
requirements)?
- how to stimulate working groups activity and chairs?
- How to find qualified chairs of conferences?
- How to stimulate conference chairs so that they are eager to arrange a
follow up conference?
- How to arrange very low cost conferences with high prestige?
- how to set together program committees and stimulate program committee
members to submit papers?
- how to create a harmonised and consistent IFIP face and procedures
towards the conference organiser, speakers and participants?
- how to stimulate a qualified journal editor to take the responsibility
- etc...
Two proposed actions that I feel make obvious problems are
- <Involve the local societies>. I did that before and it made
conferences very costly. The local society require payment for participation in the planning as well as profit from the conference.
- <Distribute the TC6 chair work>. If centralised system does not work
because the central server is overloeded I understand it. But I am sure if this is the problem in this case.

Dear Otto
I do not propose actions. I only commented on my doubt to two of the proposed actions in the action list from the meeting.
Best regards from Finn Arve..
