European ACM SIG Chapter Chairpeople,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>We are sending you this message and survey questions on behalf of
Gerhard Schimpf, Chair of the ACM German Chapter, as well as Chair of the ACM
Europe Council Chapter Subcommittee.<br>
<br>
You may be aware, that ACM has launched a regional initiative aimed at
recognizing and supporting European members and expanding ACM activities in our
region. For a detailed description of this effort and participating council
members, please take a look at the website of the ACM Europe Council <a
href="http://europe.acm.org/">http://europe.acm.org/</a>.<br>
<br>
One of the efforts is chapter development. How do we get more ACM SIG Chapters,
more ACM Professional Chapters, and more ACM Student Chapters in Europe. To
pursue this, a committee on chapter development has been formed, which consists
of Avi Mendelson (Microsoft Research, Israel), Marc Shapiro (INRIA and LIP6,
France) and myself.<br>
<br>
I am writing to you today in the name of this committee. We would like to
involve you in our planning process and share with you your knowledge and
experience in running and organizing chapters. To develop a European
perspective, you can help us by taking a look at the questions below and
providing your feedback. And, to get your feedback to these questions, <b><u>we
would like to set up a telephone interview with you</u></b>. ACM Chapter
Coordinator Samantha Goldberg will be in touch with you to set up a convenient
time for this interview. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
