                  Yes, as Conference Chair that is exactly what I would
                  do, automatically invite the recent past conference
                  chair. Nowadays we have regional events, and yes they

                      A word of advice, when I was the Conference Chair
                      for so long, I made<br>
                      sure to keep the balance of the spatial
                      distribution of members.  For<br>
                      example, the current list of members has 8 based
                      in NorthAmerica, and<br>
                      8 based in Europe/Asia.  This spatial aspect
                      becomes very important<br>
                      when voting.<br>
                      <br>
                      Of course, I never put this into writing, but, it
                      is something that I<br>
                      always made sure of.<br>
