From d.green@ieee.org Sat Mar 25 23:08:16 2000 Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 22:59:43 -0600 (CST) From: David Green To: Region 3 Executive Committee , sec-r03@ieee.org Subject: Secretary's Report for April 2000 Region and Excom Meetings To: Region 3 Committee and EXCOM Fr: David Green, Region 3 Secretary Sb: Secretary's Report Dt: 25 March 2000 The Region 3 meeting information, agendas, and reports received are on-line at https://www.ewh.ieee.org/reg/3/excom/meetings/2000-04/ and https://www.ewh.ieee.org/reg/3/excom/meetings/2000-04/agendas.html Linked to this agenda are the minutes of the March 1999 Region meeting. This minutes are on the consent agenda portion of the agenda and were distributed to the Region last year after the meeting. No corrections were received so they are being submitted as is for formal approval. Similarly, the minutes of the January 2000 Region 3 Excom are on the consent agend for the Excom. These minutes were distributed immediately after the Excom meeting. No corrections have been received. These minutes are also being submitted for formal approval. I thank (in advance) EXCOM and Region Committee members who submitt their reports prior to the meeting according to the guidelines posted on the web. These reports will be posted to the web linked with the agenda. This web will also serve as the archival mechanism. We are continuing to refine our process for setting up information on our meetings, etc. on the web to assist the Region. Please let me know where you think improvements could be made. Committees that wish to store items on the web may either do this through 1) the webmaster, 2) the Region 3 Secretary or 3) through a dedicated area that the committee controls. Please think through issues of maintenance, skills, and convenience before you decide since it is work to change the approach later. Brian Swail can inform you as to the tradeoffs between the approaches. Finally, any committee chair who would like me to post their agendas -or- link their independently posted agendas to the Region Committee/EXCOM pages listed above should contact me and I will be glad to help out. By posting the information to the web prior to the meeting we can facilitate pre-meeting preparation by committee members -and- move toward an effective archival solution.
