- At the close of the IFIP General Assembly (GA) meeting in Toledo last
- September, IFIP President Academician Bl.Sendov completed his
- third year in office and turned over the gavel to his successor,
- Professor Asbjorn Rolstadas. The November 1992 issue of the IEEE
- Computer magazine, COMPUTER, carries a guest article by Rolstadas.
-
- Probably the most significant single event at the GA was the change
- to the Statues and Bylaws to give voting rights to Technical Committee
- (TC) chairpersons. The TCs have long been recognized as being the core
- of IFIP, for they are charged with developing seminars, workshops,
- conferences, and books.
-
- Of special interest to readers of the Internet Society Newsletter are
- the following events.
-
- Fourth Open Conference on High-Performance Networking - HPN 92
- 14-18 December 1992 in Liege, Belgium.
