[robocup-legged] FW: [robocup-exec] RoboCup National Committees - Please forward to your leagues!

[Thomas Röfer]

To all RoboCup participants,

I hope that those of you who are in Bremen are enjoying RoboCup 2006!  

I am now writing to all of you on behalf of the RoboCup Trustees to ask you
to help us with the organization of RoboCup's future.  In particular, we
would like to ask you to get together with participants from your country in
*all* leagues to create a national committee.  

There are currently several RoboCup national committees listed on-line at 
   http://www.robocup.org/overview/24.html.
If your country is already on the list but with no link, or with out-of-date
information, we request that you also follow the procedures given below.

We particularly request that such committees be formed in countries with
lots of participants.


The purposes of these committees are to 

1) Manage qualification for RoboCup leagues when slots are limited
2) Serve as a point of contact for local RoboCup events and RoboCup opens
3) Promote RoboCup within your country
4) Maintain RoboCup standards for scientific research and education within
your country and uphold the RoboCup mission of sharing advances through
friendly competition
5) Maintain an English website to be linked to the main RoboCup website
describing the RoboCup activities in your country


Ideally, the committee should have a single chair whom we can contact with
questions that are relevant to your country.  There should be representation
on the committee from all of the different RoboCup leagues in which your
country is active (including RoboCupJunior).  If not already established, we
encourage the national committees to initiate formation of all aspects of
RoboCup activities, including RoboCupRescue and RoboCupJunior.


To form your committee, please get together with all of the participants
from your country.  Once the list of committee members is prepared, please
contact the RoboCup trustees to let us know

1) The members and affiliations of the committee.
2) The names, affiliations, and email addresses of all the teams
     represented by the committee (hopefully all the teams from your
     country).
3) The URL of your current webpage, if it already exists (eventually
     we will try to provide a standard format).

The Trustees will then check that all the represented teams agree to be
represented in this way, and then link the committee to the RoboCup website.


Thank you very much for your active participation in RoboCup!

Best Regars,
    Minoru Asada
    President of the RoboCup Federation
