From: Craig Partridge Subject: Re: sprint sponsoring Comments: To: Christophe Diot Comments: cc: johnson_e@ACM.ORG To: SIGCOMM2000EX@ACM.ORG In-Reply-To: Your message of "Wed, 03 Nov 1999 09:02:44 PST." <38206AB4.E8D57A35@sprintlabs.com> Status: ORS Dear Christophe: I'm very pleased to hear that Sprint is considering co-sponsoring ACM SIGCOMM 2000. The ACM SIGCOMM conference is the premiere conference in computer communications and has been held since 1983. It is very selective and typically only 15% to 20% of the paper submissions get accepted. The proceedings of SIGCOMM conferences receive wide distribution (nearly 5,000 copies) and are archived in most technical libraries. Every year we invite a select number of companies in our field to co-sponsor the conference. The purpose of these contributions are to improve conference logistics and to provide vital early seed money before money from conference registrations begins to come in. In return for their financial support, SIGCOMM recognizes corporate sponsors by placing their name and corporate logo on the conference call for participation (mailed to approximately 20,000 experts in the computer communication field in the US and Europe), on the the cover of the conference proceedings, and on the conference website. Note that becoming a sponsor now rather than later ensures that we can place the company logo on the call for participation and also in the on-line call for papers. To make your contribution, please send your check made out to ACM SIGCOMM with a note that it is a contribution for ACM SIGCOMM 2000 to the attention of Erica Johnson, ACM, 1515 Broadway, New York, NY 10036. ACM SIGCOMM is a 501(c)(3) and your contribution is tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, Sincerely, Craig Partridge Chair, ACM SIGCOMM
