APPENDIX n.3: Minutes of the 37th Executive Council Meeting MINUTES of 38th IFToMM Executive Council Meeting September 29-30, 2005, Besancon, France meeting Room at ‘la salle de réunion de l'institut de productique’; time: 9.00 1. Opening of the Meeting and Agreement of Agenda Prof Kenneth Waldron, President of IFToMM, welcomed those present and opened the meeting. The Agenda of the meeting was accepted (Appendix 23). List and addresses of the EC members and Chairs of TCs, PCs, GACs and Editors of IFToMM Journals are reported in Appendix n.1 with updated information on September 2005. 2. Apologies for absence Prof. Kedzior communicated his absence and indicated Prof. Waldron as his proxy. Prof. Miura communicated his absence and indicated Prof. Ceccarelli as his proxy. Record of presences with signatures and apologies for absence is reported in Appendix n.2. 3. Approval of the Minutes of the 37-th Executive Council Meeting Minutes of the 37-th Executive Council Meeting are enclosed in Appendix n.3. The minutes were circulated among all the members of EC at the meeting. Motion for approval was declared by Prof Ionescu and Prof Hiller (2-nd mover). After, discussion the minutes were approved. 4. Report of the President The president Prof Waldron presented his report that is enclosed in Appendix n.4. 5. Report of the Secretary General Prof Ceccarelli, Secretary General, presented his report that is enclosed in Appendix n.5. Most of the arguments in the report have been treated in more details in other points of Agenda and decisions are reported in the corresponding items. In particular, since a nomination is pending of an IFToMM representative in the MMT Editorial Board, Prof Ceccarelli has suggested to select him conveniently from among the EC members. Prof Lopez-Cajùn has declared his availability and a motion for his nomination has been made by Prof Ceccarelli and Dr Rooney. After discussion the proposal has been approved and it has been asked to Prof Parenti-Castelli, Chair of PC for Publications, to submit the nomination of Prof Lopez-Cajùn to Elsevier for the MMT Editorial Board. In addition, regarding with IFToMM Honors and Awards Prof Ceccarelli has expressed the opinion that, similarly to other international societies, IFToMM should give a proper visibility of recipients of awards by publishing their CVs with the award motivations, mainly in the IFToMM webpage and newsletter. He has also expressed the opinion that the Awards for Merit and Awards for Service should be given every year, not only to recognize the many individuals who are very active in IFToMM, but mainly as and additional action for further promotion and visibility of IFToMM in international frames. The EC has asked the GA Honors and Award Committee to work on this idea for a further discussion at the next EC meeting. Since the large dimension of the file containing information for EC meeting and GA, it has been stressed that interactive submission of documents and public download should be preferred instead of sending email messages with attached large files. The Secretary General has been asked to work with the PC for Communications to study and solve the problem. Regarding with the documents that the Secretary General has collected from the Chairs of IFToMM members, the opinion has been expressed that during the

12

General Assembly a short time should be given to each Chair to report on the activity that has been carried out by each IFToMM member at local and international levels in the fields of IFToMM. Therefore, it has been asked to the Secretary General in coordination with the President to schedule the next General Assembly with time allocation for those reports and therefore to schedule the General Assembly for a proper longer duration than the usual. 6. Report of the EC members No reports have been presented. 7. Reports of the Chairs of Permanent Commissions Present Chairs and Journal Editors presented their reports. Since lists of nominees for PCs members for the term 2006-2009 were not submitted in due time for discussion at EC meeting, EC has decided to postpone the appointment through email postal ballot when the Chairs will provide the due lists.

Informative reports of the Committees that are appointed by the General Assembly Reports were received by the Secretary General who has red them at the meeting. They are enclosed in Appendix 9 as regarding with Committees:

13

- Constitution Prof. T. Leinonen - Nominating Prof. J.Angeles - Honours and Awards Prof. K.Waldron (no activity has been reported) 10. Appointment of the Secretary of the GA Committee for Honors and Awards. Prof Marco Ceccarelli presented the nomination of Prof Teun Koetsier, whose CV is reported in Appendix n.10. Second mover was Prof Lopez-Cajun and after discussion the nomination of Prof Koetsier as secretary of the GA Committee was approved. 11. New Technical Committees Prof Marco Ceccarelli presented the proposal that he has received from Prof Javier Cuadrado (Spain) for a new TC for Multibody Systems. The proposal is reported in Appendix n.11 in the form that has circulated in advance. Second mover was Prof Hiller and after discussion the establishment of TC for Multibody Systems was approved. Prof Tian Huang presented the proposal that has been received from Prof Jubon Li (China-Beijing) for a new TC on Tribology. The proposal is reported in Appendix n.11 in the form that has circulated in advance. Second mover was Prof Ceccarelli and after discussion the establishment of TC on Tribology was approved. A discussion on the proposal of merging TC for Robotics with TC for Mechatronics has been moved from point 21 to this point of Agenda, since the results could have needed the establishment of a new TC. Related material is in Appendix n.21. Prof Heimann has presented the proposal for merging the two TCs. Prof Hiller has stressed that more strict collaboration among TCs for Robotics, Mechatronics, and Multibody systems should be stimulated for future activity. The motion ‘Do we want to merge the TCs for Robotics and Mechatronics?’ has been formulated by Prof Hiller and Dr Rooney as second mover. After discussion the vote results are obtained with four expressions in favor and five expression in contrary. Thus, the merging proposal has been rejected but however it has been stressed that a final resolution will be taken at the EC meeting in occasion of IFToMM World Congress 2007 with the aim to monitor the activity and efforts of both TCs. The arguments have been understood from EC members but organization aspects should be considered carefully before acting on two such important fields of MMS. 12. Discussion on proposed amendments to the Constitution and By-Laws The amendment package has been presented with minor revisions by the Secretary General in the form that is reported in Appendix 12 as the points that are currently under consideration of the GA Constitution Committee. In particular text corrections for art.5.1 and for a By-Law item on Young Delegate Program have been considered suitable for amendment proposals. The amendment by Dr Merlet for ruling nomination procedures for members in PCs and TCs has been considered very convenient. The arguments for establishing associate individual members as in proposal by Prof Ceccarelli has been considered interesting in order to attract more participation of individuals and to search for additional financial resources for IFToMM activity. Dr Merlet has stressed strongly his support of the idea and goals and he has proposed to accept those associate individual members as observers of PCs and TCs, on their request, as an additional advantage of being in such a category of IFToMM members. The Secretary General has reminded the EC that the matter is under the study of the GA Constitution Committee that should express results to EC before proposing the amendments to the vote of General Assembly. The points for IFToMM By-Laws that are proposed by Task Force for IFToMM Journals have been considered appropriate for consideration after the results that have been obtained in making order in the matter of IFToMM publications. The motion ‘Do we forward the amendment package in Appendix n.12 to the GA Constitution Commission for consideration?’ has been formulated by Prof Ceccarelli and Dr Rooney as second mover. After further discussion the motion has been approved. 13. Chairs of PCs and TCs

14

Nominees for the Chairs of PCs and TCs have been considered for the term 2006-2009. The list of confirmed and new appointed Chairs of PCs and TCs is reported in Appendix n.13 with CV information. When no information on CV or no nominee has been submitted, the Executive Council has decided to postpone the appointment until after receiving suitable complete information in order to proceed through email postal ballot for the appointment in due time before the start on January 1, 2006 for term 2006-09. The President has indicated a member of EC for providing the necessary information and/or candidate nominee for each incomplete position. Then, each nominee has been evaluated separately and after motions and discussion she/he has been appointed as in the following: Permanent Commissions: - Communications Prof. L. Notash (movers: Ceccarelli and Lopez-Cajùn) - Education Prof. P. Dietmaier (movers: Ceccarelli and Lopez-Cajùn) - History of TMM Prof. H.S. Yan (movers: Ceccarelli and Ionescu) - Publications Prof. V. Parenti-Castelli (movers: Hiller and Ceccarelli) - Standardization of Terminology Prof. A.J. Klein-Breteler (movers: Ionescu and Hiller). Technical Committees: - Computational Kinematics Prof. M. Husty (movers: Ceccarelli and Hiller) - Gearing Prof. A.Dobroczeny (postponed appointment; Hiller will look for it) - Human-Machine Systems no candidate (postponed appointment; Kedzior will look for it) - Linkages and Cams Prof. B. Corves (movers: Hiller and Lopez-Cajùn ) - Mechatronics no candidate (postponed appointment; Hiller will look for it) - Micromachines no candidate (postponed appointment; Merlet and Waldron will look for it) - Multibody Systems Prof. J. Cuadrado (movers: Ceccarelli and Lopez-Cajùn) - Nonlinear Oscillations Prof. J. Awrejcewicz (postponed appointment; Ceccarelli will look for it) - Reliability Prof. I. V.Demiyanushko (movers: Ceccarelli and Trevelyan) - Robotics Prof. B. Heimann (movers: Hiller and Rooney) - Rotordynamics no candidate (postponed appointment; Rieger and Ceccarelli will look for it) - Transportation Machinery Dr. M. Ragavan (movers: Ceccarelli and Lopez-Cajùn) - Tribology Prof. J. Luo (movers: Huang and Ionescu) 14. Treasurer’s report and budget for 2005 and 2006 Dr Rooney presented the budget for 2005 and 2006. Adjustments were made as based on requests by the Chairs of PCs and TCs at the meeting. After remarks on bank costs a working group has been proposed by the President for considering bank alternatives and currency basis. The working group has been selected with Dr Roney, acting as chair, Prof Ceccarelli, and Prof Corves. The working group will present results of his work at the next EC meeting in 2006. The budget report was then approved after discussion following motion by Prof Ceccarelli and Prof Lopez-Cajùn. Treasurer’s report is reported in Appendix n.14 with general information Details in separate sheets for budget for 2005 and 2006 are reported in Appendix n.14-bis that has been classified as confidential matter for EC members only. Therefore Appendix n.14-bis is recorded separately in the IFToMM Archive. A specific discussion has been held on the problem with IFToMM members who have several years of dues arrears. Beside the Constitution rule that in Article 8.6 prescribes suspension for delinquent IFToMM members with dues arrears for more than three years, attention has been focused on how to help those members that have not paid for real financial problems and to avoid repetitive

15

membership candidatures. Prof. Trevelyan has proposed to use plus value conference fee for delegates who are not from National Organization IFToMM members in order to stimulate IFToMM membership and to recover the due annual fees from delinquent IFToMM members. Thus a motion has formulated as ‘Is it possible to use a surcharge of conference fee for delegates from suspended IFToMM members and from territories or countries where no IFToMM members exist in order to stimulate IFToMM membership and to recover the due annual fees?’. The amount of this surcharge will be determined by EC on the basis of considering the size and cost of a conference; in addition this surcharge will be returned to IFToMM from the conference organizers. The motion was made by Dr Rooney and Prof Trevelyan and after further discussion it has been approved. 15. Agreement between IFToMM and FeIbIM (Iberoamerican Federation of Mechanical

Engineering) Prof Marco Ceccarelli presented the Agreement between IFToMM and FeIbIM that is reported in Appendix n.15 in its completed form with signatures. Second mover was Dr. Ionescu and after discussion the Agreement was approved. The IFToMM President and IFToMM Secretary-General have signed the Agreement with copies that the Secretary-General will forward for signatures by FeIbIM officers after this meeting. 16. Report of Task-force for Journals and actions Prof Tian Huang, Chair of the Task-Force, presented the report that is enclosed in Appendix n.16. A motion to approve the report has been made by Prof Hiller and Prof Lopez-Cajùn and after discussion the report has been approved. The signed Memorandum of Understanding between IFToMM and Elsevier has been consider confidential following a request by Elsevier and therefore it has been decided to include it in the restricted material for EC members only in separate Minutes. In addition, a common template for papers in IFToMM conferences has been auspicated and PC for Publications has been asked to work on it in coordination with the organizers of the next IFToMM World Congress with the aim to propose a format at the next EC meeting. Furthermore, the publication of the Proceedings as a IFToMM series has been suggested as also an additional source for IFToMM finance with a proper contact with a Publisher. But the very different situations for the different IFToMM conference events have been stressed as a very difficult problem for a standardization, even since the long tradition of some conferences with their own character also in the Proceedings format. Because these problems and incomplete results on the prescribed goals, the President has advised for a continuation of the work of the Task Force that will report at the next EC meeting in 2006. In addition, the motion ‘will the Chair of PC for Communications be a member of the Task Force?’ has been proposed by Prof Ceccarelli since the matters are related to conference proceedings that are on duty of that PC. Second mover has been Dr Rooney and after discussion the motion has been approved. 17. Report of Organizing Committee for 12th World Congress in 2007 This point has been postponed for discussion after the visit of the facilities for 12th World Congress in 2007 and discussion is reported at point 23 of this Minutes. 18. The 13th World Congress in 2011 Nothing has been received but the Executive Council encourages new proposals besides re-submission of past ones. A form for proposals is reported in Appendix n.18 with the aim to give guidelines for a common format for proposals. 19. Candidates for the new Membership in IFToMM – Changes in the Memberships

16

Prof Ceccarelli presented the candidature of Tunisia for IFToMM membership by illustrating the character of the organization that submitted the candidature. After a discussion, the candidate was considered suitable and the candidature was considered as appropriate for voting it at the General Assembly after movers Prof Ceccarelli and Dr. Rooney. The letter of request for IFToMM membership by Tunisia is reported in Appendix n.19. A discussion has lead to the motion for ‘proceeding with a postal ballot among chairs of IFToMM members to accept Tunisia as IFToMM member before the 2007 World Congress’ by Prof Ceccarelli and Dr. Ionescu. After discussion, the motion has been approved and the Secretary-General will proceed to the email postal ballot. A discussion has been reconsidered for the problem of the IFToMM members who have still to pay several annual fees. In particular the case of Vietnam IFToMM member has been discussed since the letter (reported in Appendix n.19) that the Secretary General has received. It has pointed out that Vietnam IFToMM member and other IFToMM members in similar situation of arrears should be suspended and even expulsed from IFToMM in agreement with IFToMM Constitution. Nevertheless, it has been advised that, like the case occurred in the past with Canada IFToMM member, those members should be invited again for IFToMM membership once they have solved the financial problems for paying regularly the annual fees. However, since Vietnam IFToMM members seems to be in the situation that they cannot pay for the past but they will be able to pay regularly for the future, it has been suggested to proceed for an expulsion from IFToMM with the hope that a new National Organization with good credentials will apply for IFToMM membership again, before the next IFToMM General Assembly, where final decision can be made. Thus the motion ‘is it convenient to ask to General Assembly an email postal ballot in 2006 for expulsion of Vietnam IFToMM member according to art.8.1 of Constitution?’ has been proposed by Prof Ceccarelli and Dr Rooney. After further discussion the motion has been approved and the Secretary General has been asked to proceed with the email postal ballot at the beginning of 2006. 20. Place and date of the 39th Executive Council Meeting In a previous email message Prof Kedzior has invited the Executive Council for the next meeting in Warsaw, Poland, in June 2006 before or after Romansy. The invitation has been accepted. The dates of June 19 and 20 have been accepted with a calendar that the Secretary General will fix in due time in coordination with IFToMM President and local host. 21. New and Old Business Prof Ceccarelli has reminded that in 2004 EC asked to solve the problem of having email addresses in the IFToMM webpage in a form not useful for email searching motors and PC Communications should provide a solution (see Appendix n.21). Again in 2004 EC meeting the start of a forum in the IFToMM webpage was approved and but it still is not available and therefore the PC for Communications has been asked to provide for a solution (see Appendix n.21). Prof Trevelyan who was in charge to collaborate with the PC has reported that they have studied the feasibility of the project but they have advised so far a limited traffic by email and therefore they have hesitated in starting the forum, for which he will work yet. Prof Ceccarelli has reported on the status of the IFToMM Archives in substitution of Prof Yan, Chair of PC for History of MMS. The IFToMM Archive has improved considerably but still several past documents are missed, although the PC for History of MMS through a specific Sub-Commission is still searching for those documents. The list of the stored material is reported in Appendix n.21. The establishment of a restricted area of the IFToMM Archive containing confidential documents has been discussed and approved after a motion by Prof Ceccarelli and Prof

17

Lopez-Cajùn, as a need to store documents that cannot be included in the official minutes of EC meeting and GA because of the treated subjects. The confidential documents will be available for EC members only, but upon request to President and consequent permission, a Chair of IFToMM member may have access to the restricted area of the IFToMM archive. The restricted area of the IFToMM Archive will be under the responsibility of the PC for History of MMS in term of cataloguing and regulating the access, but a strong cooperation with the Secretary General has been auspicated, mainly in identifying confidential materials. The Secretary General has presented the letter that has been received from Prof Rovetta dealing with a demand for a working group looking at Ethics and International Collaborations. The President has advised the need to study the matter and he has designated a ‘Working Group on future directions and relationships of IFToMM’ as composed by Prof Waldron (who will act as chair of WG), Prof Ceccarelli, Dr Rooney and Prof Rovetta (as advocate of the question). The Working Group will report at the next EC meeting in 2006. 22. Closure The President expressed thanks for attending the meeting and he adDressed special thanks to Prof Marc Dahan and his team for hosting the meeting. The meeting was closed at 10.30 on September 30, 2005 with the aim to visit the facilities for the 12th World Congress in 2007. 23. Visit of the facilities and report of the organization for the12th World Congress in 2007 The visit of the Congress facilities at Micropolis Exhibition Center in Besancon (France) was held just after the closure of the meeting and it has been carried out until 12.00 when a specific presentation with discussion was held in a room at Micropolis Exhibition Center. The outdoor area and nine available rooms for the World Congress 2007 have been visited and satisfaction has been expressed by the EC members. Photos are reported in Appendix n.22 where is also reported the material presented as report of the Organizing Committee. A webpage is available at www.iftomm2007.com. Among the many details that have been discussed and successfully clarified, the following points have been pointed out and asked to solve in time: a schedule for EC meetings just before and just after the Congress in coordination with the Secretary General; to include the Chairs of PCs and TCs in the Scientific Committee; to involve the PCs and TCs in the review process of the submitted papers; to include a schedule for the meetings of PCs and TCs in the Congress program by using Congress rooms, just after technical sessions; to look for the possibility for pick-up buses bringing delegates from hotels to the Congress site; to look for the possibility for hotel booking service through the Congress Organization; to ask Chairs of IFToMM members to make a link in their wepages to the World Congress webpage. Finally, the motion for approving the report of the Organizing Committee for the 2007 IFToMM World Congress has bee made by Prof Ceccarelli and Prof Hiller. After discussion the report has been approved.

APPENDIX n.4: Report of the President As usual, many of the activities in which I have participated will be reported elsewhere under specific technical committee and permanent commission reports. Shortly after the meeting in Besancon last year I attended an event in Moscow celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Academician Artobolevsky who was, of course, one of the founders of IFToMM and its first president. After the ROMANSY meeting, which I will be attending, I will travel to India to attend an international conference on automation (PICA-2006). I hope that this will provide an opportunity to strengthen IFToMM related activities in India. Since the last EC meeting I sent out letters to 9 countries with long term arrears of their dues pointing out the provision in article 8.6 of the IFToMM statutes that a member that has not paid its subscriptions for more than three consecutive years shall have its voting privileges suspended, and may lose membership by a two-thirds vote of the General Assembly. This has produced results in several cases. In the case of those members that have not responded I will be proposing that the Executive Council recommend that the General Assembly vote to remove membership at the coming World Congress. I have taken up the position of Technical Leader of the Systems and Design Group of ASME. ASME is the U.S. member organization of IFToMM and the U.S. IFToMM dues are paid out of the custodial account of the Design Engineering Division, which is part of the Systems and Design Group. I regret to report the passing on March 30th, 2006, of Professor Ferdinand Freudenstein who was very prominent in the field of mechanism and machine theory in the U.S., and internationally. Professor Freudenstein was an Honorary Member of IFToMM. He died after a very prolonged illness with Alzheimer’s disease. The published obituary is as follows: Dr. Ferdinand Freudenstein, Higgins professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University passed away on Thursday, March 30. A funeral service was held the following day at 10 am. He was 80 years old. Dr. Freudenstein was known as the “father of modern kinematics,” ushering in the programmed, digital computation era in the kinematic synthesis of mechanisms. He had great influence in the field, and many of his students, and his students’ students, continue to research and teach kinematics. Prof. Larry Yao, Departmental Chair of Mechanical Engineering, paid respect at the funeral, “…Ferdinand’s biggest legacy is nearly 200 Ph.D. children and grandchildren…” Well over 100 universities around the world have faculty from the Freudenstein family tree. Former students were saddened to hear the news and offered their thoughts on Dr. Freudenstein. Professor Bahram Ravani, from University of California, Davis, states, “Professor Freudenstein was a giant in the field of mechanical design with many very significant and lasting contributions. He was a true scholar, a respected mentor and a valued colleague. He will be missed in the academic community.” Professor Costas Grigoropoulos, from University of California, Berkeley, says, “I took all his courses and still have his excellent notes. I remember him with great admiration and respect as a true giant in his field and also very fondly as a wonderful person.” Professor Art Erdman of the University of Minnesota reflects that “He was a great leader and a wonderful person! He certainly has been a strong mentor to me and countless others.” Dr. Freudenstein was the recipient of many prestigious awards and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. He will be greatly missed both professionally and personally. Our thoughts are with his family.

APPENDIX n.7: Reports of the Chairs of Permanent Commissions

Report of IFToMM Permanent Commission on Communications (January – May, 2006) By Dr. Leila Notash

www.IFToMM.org (http://130.15.85.212/indexa.html1- MEMBERSHIP CHANGES The only change for the membership of PC Communications, for the period January-May of 2006, is that the previous Chair, Professor Dinos Mavroidis is now a member of this PC, and Professor Leila Notash is the Chair. As well, according to the documents emailed by the IFToMM Secretary General on April 19, 2006, there are a total of four nominated members for the PC Communications, three of them were listed in the document compiled by the IFToMM SG and emailed on October 3, 2005. 2- STATEMENTS FOR THE ACTIVITY OF THE PC

According to the IFToMM Constitution and By-Laws (Appendix I), the objectives of Permanent Commission for Communications are to publish the IFToMM Newsletter at least once a year; to maintain and update the IFToMM Web site, to maintain and publicize a four-year Calendar of Future Congresses, Conferences and Symposia (referred to as technical meetings); to publish the annual calendar of technical meetings; to act as liaison among the organizers of technical meetings; and to work closely with all Committees, and to assist organizing Committees in preparing and holding conferences.

3- DISCUSSION OF RECENT ACTIVITIES Following many communications with the Queen’s University, the Dean and Associate Dean of the Applied Science Faculty approved hosting the IFToMM pages on a Faculty server until the IFToMM finds a permanent host for its webpage. The activities of the new Chair of PC Communications, during January-May of 2006 (her first five months in this position), was focused on transferring the IFToMM page to the Queen’s server and updating the “HTML” files of the webpage. The IFToMM Newsletters were also transferred to the Faculty server at http://130.15.85.212/newsletter/ (from the homepage of Dr. Notash). In January 2006, a copy of the Macromedia Contribute was purchased, and during January – March the “HTML” files containing information on the Chairs of the PC/TC/Commissions/Committees were updated by the Chair based on the information that was emailed by the IFToMM Secretary General beginning of 2006. For any file that was updated (completely or partially), the date that the file was updated was reported at the bottom of the page. If a page was partially updated, a note was added on what else needed to be updated, e.g., the list of members of PCs/TCs. During April - May 2006, only the announcements page was updated as the IFToMM page was under major revision as outlined in the following paragraphs. The revised IFToMM page will be transferred to http://130.15.85.212/indexa.html in June 2006. The original IFToMM pages, transferred to Queen’s, contained many “FLASH” files which required specific software (Macromedia Flash) to edit/update. According to the Queen's University Computer Store, Flash Basic was CDN$523 (plus 15% tax) and Flash Professional was CDN$897.81 (plus 15% tax). The "FALSH" files of the IFToMM pages could not be edited/updated as the pertinent software was not available. Because of the high cost of the software, following a few email communications with the IFToMM EC, it was decided to convert all of these “FALSH” files to the “HTML” files. A summer undergraduate student (Ms. Vicky Lee) was hired, to help with modifying the IFToMM pages and creating the “HTML” files of all the “FLASH” files while keeping the files as simple as possible for future modifications. New sidebar menus have been designed for the IFToMM page, a “Site Map” for the IFToMM pages has been developed, and many pages have been updated (reporting the date on the page if the information was updated). To keep the contact information for the officers and also for the members of PCs and TCs up-to-date and also to protect the posted email addresses from Spam-Crawlers, Professor James Trevelyan, University of Western Australia, also a member of IFToMM EC, has created a database for the IFToMM officers and members. The latest version of the “HTML” file of all officers and also the file of all members (affiliations, contact info with emails protected) will be posted on the revised IFToMM page once the two files have been updated. Keeping the contact information for the officers and also for the members of PCs and TCs up-to-date has been closely coordinated with Professor Trevelyan in order to avoid duplication of the effort/work. 4- MEETINGS AND VISITS N/A 5-RESEARCH JOINT COLLABORATIONS AND EXCHANGES N/A 6- CONFERENCE EVENTS N/A 7- TEACHING ACTIVITIES N/A 8- FUTURE PLANNED ACTIVITIES To complete the revisions of IFToMM webpage files; to finalize the membership list of PC Communications; with the support of IFToMM EC, to review/update (if any, otherwise propose) the conference sponsorship criteria of IFToMM, … 9- OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION

Budget for IFToMM Permanent Commission on Communications (2006 budget and proposed budget for 2007) Budget

2006 Budget transferred to Queen’s: CDN$2,246,56 (US$2,000) 2007 budget request: US$2,000 or more (at least the same amount as that of 2006’s, to recover the expenses occurred in 2006)

2006 Expenses

Software Cost (purchased). A copy of Adobe Contribute (formerly Macromedia Contribute): CDN$79.27 Note. The Queen’s Computer Store price for this software is CDN$102.60 plus 15% tax. This reduced licence fee of $79.27 was due to the special rate for the site licence arranged between the Applied Science Faculty, Queen’s University, and Macromedia. Software Cost (to be purchased). A copy of Microsoft FrontPage: less than CDN$100.00 Note. The Macromedia Contribute is not that suitable for tables, particularly the table format used for the Site Map of IFToMM page.

Summer Student Salary. CDN$2,200 per month, a total of ~ CDN$4,400. Note. Due to the extent of the revisions and also the number of “FLASH” files that needed to be created as the “HTML” file, it is expected that the student will spend about 2 months on the IFToMM pages. In the following years, it is hoped that the revisions will be minor and will include mostly updating the pages and adding new pages, and hence could be done in about a month.

The revised pages of IFToMM are available at the following URL: http://130.15.85.212/IFToMM_New/indexa.html and if you prefer to see the initial animation (same as the current page, had been developed using Macromedia Flash) you could just type the directory address (with no file name), i.e., http://130.15.85.212/IFToMM_New

The list of IFToMM webpage related activities/revisions since January 2006 is as follows:

1. Transferring the files of IFToMM page to the Queen’s Faculty of Applied Science server 2. Transferring the IFToMM Newsletters to the Faculty server and listing all the existing

Newsletters together at http://130.15.85.212/newsletter/ (from the homepage of Dr. Notash for the 2001-2005 issues, and from the IFToMM page for the 1995-2000 issues)

3. Updating the “HTML” files containing information on the Chairs of the PC/TC/Commissions/Committees based on the information that was emailed by the IFToMM Secretary General beginning of 2006 - For any file that was updated (completely or partially), the date that the file was updated was reported at the bottom of the page. If a page was partially updated, a note was added on what else needed to be updated, e.g., the list of members of PCs/TCs. These pages will be completely revised (and updated) in a few weeks as explained below.

4. Converting all of the “FALSH” files (which there were many) to the “HTML” files 5. Designing sidebars 6. Designing/developing a “Site Map” which, in my opinion, is great (the best addition to the

IFToMM page) 7. Restructuring a couple of items/pages and updating many files including the links to

available webpages of Member Organizations, Forthcoming Conferences, …

As you might be aware, to keep the contact information for the officers and also for the members of PCs and TCs up-to-date and also to protect the posted email addresses from Spam-Crawlers, Professor James Trevelyan, member of IFToMM EC, has created a database for the IFToMM officers and members. The latest version of the “HTML” file of all officers and also the file of all members (affiliations, contact info with emails protected) will be posted on the revised IFToMM page once the two files have been updated and reformatted. In order to avoid duplication of the effort/work, updating the contact information for the officers and also for the members of PCs and TCs has been closely coordinated with James. I will be replacing the current IFToMM page at http://130.15.85.212/ with the new and revised pages in a few days (I have kept the current page in ca
