notes from Diane, who was unable to attend the meeting actively

• • • • With regard to the issues on the agenda:

      • - I would propose investigating with IFIP some kind of "co-sponsorship" (i.e., no budget alloted to the conf, but ability to add IFIP's logo and to circulate announcements in IFIP promotional channels e.g., web, newsletter and others).

      • - In any case, we have offered an IFIP TC9/9.2, 9.2.2, 9.5 and domain for cloud computing track on "social responsibility/ethics/virtuality/cloud. We could try to do e.g., an open 9.2/9.2.2 workshop the day before ETHICOMp starts and a TC9 (closed) meeting the dat after. This would ensure a few people attending these two events who might stay for the conference itself (besides the usual IFIP members who come along very regularly to ETHICOMP).

      • - With regard to publication(s), IFIP usually publishes with Springer: first fifty copies free, and the rest to be bought. I would have to see whether the ETHICOMP publications could be handled e.g., within the AICT series or within a "teaching programme" series. But I assume it would need an IFIP co-editor to the proceedings, as a minimum.

      • - Somehow co-sponsoring ETHICOMP 2015 would work well for us, even if we have our summer school this year in Edinburgh on Aug 17-21, and Human Choice and Computing 12 in Salford, Manchester in September 2016.
