To: Region 3 Committee / EXCOM Fr: David Green, Region 3 ECC Sb: Electronic Communications Coordinator Report Dt: March 16, 2001 The area of communications for IEEE is the process of being redefined. I have agreed to work with Communications Chair Bill Ratcliff, Webmaster & Editor Chip Dawson and others including the E-Conferencing committee this year to try to look at the support structure and see if changes are warranted as we change the way we do business. I am serving as the Electronic Communications Coordinator (ECC) and have been asked to chair the RAB Section Chapter Support Committee's committee of all the Regional ECCs. The organization issue extends to other regions so hopefully we can, along with our counterparts in other Regions find effective structures to provide the support and services for our volunteer structure and members. This year, we have agreed to just work as a team and cover all the bases. Long-time Region 3 ECC Brian Swail has agreed to help me out and manage the R3 Support Mailing lists this year. Thanks Brian! At the time of this report, I preparing to go visit the IEEE Operations Center to discuss some of the issues related to Electronic Communications and future projects to support this area. I will report the results of this visit to the Communications Newsgroup and at the Communications meeting at Southeastcon. Dave -- David G. Green d.green@ieee.org IEEE Region 3 ECC (01)
