I hate to write this, but please let me be frank. You wrote: > As regards for Rauf, He is responsible for grant from Ministry of Education. It will cover proceedins of conference. Therefore I ask you to include Rauf as Co-chair. Then, it will be I who would withdraw not only from the position, co-chair, but from organization committee. To simply put I will stop any activity concerning ICNNAI conference. I'm serious. I would rather organize, if I want, a conference in Poland, Lithania or Argentina, I think they would allow me to chair it. Or, my alternative proposal is ---------------- CHAIR Vladimir Golovko Akira Imada CO-CHAIR Rauf Sadikov ------------ Though I don't know if you remember or not, you had suggested me to be a CHAIR with you, not CO-CHAIR in ICNNAI-2006. As I was not interested in my status at that time, I insisted to be CO-CHAIR, thinking the conference was orginated by YOU. I was happy enough to be a CO-CHAIR. This time, however, though still I don't care my status, I don't like to support the conference together with Rauf for some reasons. If you want to know why, then I would not hesitate to reveal the reasons. In addition, what would be good is we might add one committee as follows: ------------------ ADVISARY COMMITTEE Vladimir Ruvanov Anatoly Sachenko ------------------ instead of their being in the program committee. You might add other persons in this committee. I hope you will understand this time. PS, Anyway I will send emails each of those you recommended for invitation to be a member of our program committee.
