Dear All,
There is a typo in one of the names of the candidates. Helle
Hanson is Helle Hvid Hansen. She is working in the group of Jorge
Perez from the University of Groningen who will be the next
General Chair of DisCoTec 2024.
For more information on the persons mentioned in the proposal, please have a look at the Minutes of the SC meeting that also reports the main discussion on this issue.
Sorry for the typo.
Many thanks,
Mieke
Dear Steering Committee members of Coordination,
Please find attached the minutes of the SC meeting of June 20 that was held in hybrid form at Coordination 2023 in Lisbon. Many thanks to Emilio Tuosto who kindly assisted running the hybrid part of the meeting and taking notes. Of course, if those who participated to the meeting feel that anything is missing or not represented as intended, please let us know so that we can correct the issues. Attached please find also the slides of the presentation by Antonia and Sung on this year's event.
An important part of the meeting was dedicated to the proposal of PC Chairs for Coordination 2024 that will be held at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands possibly in the third week of June 2024 (dates to be confirmed).
The following PC Chair candidates seemed good options after the discussion. We would like to ask all SC members to express their preferences for the proposed candidates by sending me an email in which you order each list (female/male) with best preference first and a brief (optional) motivation for your choice. I'll communicate the outcome of the preferences that I receive in a non-anonymous way to the SC in the form of a table. I'll start invitation of the PC Chairs in the order of preference expressed by the SC.
Please express you choice asap by sending me an email, not later than friday, July 7, 2023.
Options (not in any particular order):
Female candidates:
Illaria Castellani
Helle Hanson
Vashti Galpin
Male candidates:
Francesco Tiezzi
Claudio Antares Mezzina
Marcello Buonsangue
Roberto Casadei
This way, right after summer the new chairs can be approached and preparations for the next conference be started.
Have a nice summer, and many thanks,
Mieke Massink
