Re: Request for comment (Cracow1001)

The proposed program represents a good balance.

1 -  I agree with Tassos comment about the 'New' Structural Problems.
Most of the problems are not new, they are simply unsolved or
solved in an unsatisfactory way. Instead of "new" I propose to say
"difficult" or "hard". The other problem is that P.Main, proposed as
chairman,  should also give a contribution on wavelets and I hope =20
there no  question of incompatibility between the two things.

2 - My involvement with computing is now quite reduced and I agree
with David that we shoul leave room for younger people. Gianluca
Cascarano or someone else from the Bari group would be a better
choice for chairperson.

3 - Yves seems to be well informed of the teaching aspects and
I think he would be an optimal chairperson.

With my best regards to all of you.
