[agents] FIPA chair

[Marc-Philippe Huget]

Dear Massimo and all,

Well, to a certain way, I agree with you, we need somebody that has 
devotion on FIPA and agrees to spend a lot of time organizing and put 
pressure on people to see work progress-do we speak about a lot of 
persons?. Now, the different criteria you propose on the future chair 
seem to be unrealistic, we are not a big community with plenty of 
academic teams and several companies ready to participate actively. My 
crude feeling is: let's see who will candidate as chair and decide after 
that by a vote: if we vote for this person, we "offer" him the duties 
(and I am sure this is not the kind of gift everybody dreams of), if no 
candidate or no majority on a candidate, maybe this will be time to 
think about FIPA

Cheers,
Marc-Philippe
