To: Region 3 EXCOM
Fr: David Green, Region 3 Secretary
Sb: Secretary's Report
Dt: January 15, 2001

The Region 3 meeting information, agendas, and reports received are 
on-line at 

https://www.ewh.ieee.org/reg/3/excom/meetings/2001-01/agendas.html

I thank EXCOM members who have submitted their reports prior to the
meeting according to the guidelines posted on the web.  These reports
are posted to the web linked with the agenda.  This will also serve as
the archival mechanism.

Also available on the web (linked from the agenda) are the minutes of
our past October EXCOM which were distributed after the meeting.  The
official approval of the minutes are on the consent agenda.

The balloting of the Region 3 Committee is complete and the Region
Committee approved the slate of candidates for Region 3
Delegate/Director-Elect for 2002-3 as proposed by the EXCOM.  The
candidates are William (Bill) Harrison of the Atlanta Section and Don
Hill of the Lexington Section.  These two candidates have been
reported to Piscataway per Director Riddle's request.

We are continuing to refine our process for setting up information on
our meetings, etc. on the web to assist the EXCOM.  Please let me know
where you think improvements could be made.

I was honored to have been nominated (along with Bill Ratcliff and
Charles Lord) for the Regional Activities Board's Innovation Award for
the Electronic Conferencing effort.  This has been a most rewarding
project to be associated with and I thank all of the Region 3 leaders
for their participation and support.  It is this support that brought
the project to the level of effort that made it eligible for this
award.  Congratulations to Region 3 leadership.

Committees that wish to store items on the web may either do this
through the webmaster or 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.  Chip Dawson can inform you as to the tradeoffs between the
approaches.

Dave
