Message from the Chair written to the Members of the IFAC Harold Chestnut Control Engineering Textbook Prize Selection Committee

Subject: Call for Nominations for the IFAC Harold Chestnut Control Engineering Textbook Prize.

Call for Nominations for the IFAC Harold Chestnut Control Engineering Textbook Prize will be presented and discussed.

Call for Nominations for the IFAC Harold Chestnut Control Engineering Textbook Prize will be presented and discussed.

I invite all of you and each of you who will be in Shanghai to join us at the meeting. In particular I hope that some of the past winners of the Prize will

join us in the discussion. The nice lunch buffet sponsored by the IEEE CSS will be served. The Call for Nominations is now ready for distributions. We will have a follow up discussion if major valid issues will be raised at the meeting in Shanghai. Each of you is invited to serve as an advocate for this important for our IFAC and the whole control community recognition. Each of you is encouraged to discuss this call in your own community. I will work very hard on bringing to attention this call in Shanghai. The conference is large and brings together many potential candidates for nominees.

Let me take the opportunity to wish those whom I won't see in Shanghai

the Very Best Holidays' Season ( my sincere thoughts go to George Irwin during this time),

and I will be in touch with you after the meeting in Shanghai with my report

and request to publish the Call for Nominations in the IFAC Newsletter,

Thank you!

I am looking forward to seeing you soon or hearing from you,

with my very best,
